Nigerian social media personality, Bobrisky, has filed a ₦1 billion lawsuit against VeryDarkMan, accusing him of defamation through an audio clip.
The lawsuit claims that VeryDarkMan released an AI-generated audio recording that falsely implicated Bobrisky in illicit relationships with high-profile figures.
According to the lawsuit, VeryDarkMan’s actions have caused immense damage to Bobrisky’s reputation and mental health.
Bobrisky’s lawyers stated, “Our client has suffered immense damage since the publication of the defamatory content by you, leading to several damaging reviews of his persona, brand, and everything he holds dear.”
The lawsuit further alleged that VeryDarkMan used Bobrisky’s name and influence for personal gain, making unsubstantiated claims about his relationships with politicians and law enforcement officials.

The legal statement states, “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.”
Bobrisky’s lawyers demanded that VeryDarkMan deletes the audio clip immediately, issue a public apology in two national newspapers, and record a video apology to be shared across all social media platforms.
