Popular Nigerian cross-dresser and social media personality, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has filed a N1 billion lawsuit against social media influencer, VeryDarkMan, over alleged defamation.
The lawsuit comes in the wake of a controversial voice recording which he alleged was that of Bobrisky claiming to have bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.
However, Bobrisky has dismissed the recording as fake, claiming it was generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
In the lawsuit, Bobrisky is demanding N1 billion in damages, citing that the defamatory recording has caused significant harm to his reputation and brand. According to his legal team, the voice in the recording was manipulated using advanced AI technology to mimic Bobrisky’s voice and words, leading to widespread public backlash.
Sharing a letter from her lawyers via her social media account, Bobrisky sued VDM for N1 billion as damages and gave him 24 hours to publish a written and video recording apology.
