Nigerian crossdresser and social media influencer, Bobrisky, has initiated a ₦1 billion lawsuit against Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman.
The lawsuit alleges defamation through the circulation of a viral audio clip, which Bobrisky claims is AI-Generated.
The lawsuit, announced via Bobrisky’s Instagram account on Sunday, claims that VeryDarkMan released an AI-generated audio recording that falsely implicated Bobrisky in illicit relationships with high-profile figures, including politicians and law enforcement officials.
The legal statement states, “Our client has informed us that in your quest for social media stardom, you have continued to exploit his name, personality, and social media influence to create media buzz for your personal gains.”
“Recently, you alleged in one of your trending videos on various social media platforms that various Deputy Inspectors General of the Nigeria Police Force, lawmakers, senators, and politicians generally were in the habit of having sexual intercourse with our client, yet you have not provided any proof of these claims to date.”
It continues, “You have persisted in making reckless and unfounded statements, including hearsay that you cannot prove against our client, disregarding his mental health, general wellbeing, right to privacy, right to freedom of thought, right to life, and other fundamental constitutional rights.”
