Nigerian rapper and activist, Falz, has come under intense scrutiny after being linked to a money laundering case
The case involves controversial socialite, Bobrisky, in a leaked audio recording.
First, the controversy follows Bobrisky’s April 2024 arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for defacing the Naira.
In a recent turn of events, on September 24, 2024, social media influencer VeryDarkMan shared a recording.
In the recording, Bobrisky claimed that EFCC officials demanded a ₦15 million bribe. The money was to motivate them to drop money laundering charges against him.
In the audio recording, Bobrisky admitted to paying the bribe.
Also, he revealed he was held in a private residence instead of serving time in prison for the naira abuse.
Further deepening the controversy, the audio recording implicated a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son.
He alleges they helped him escape the charges.

The claims have drawn harsh criticism and brought attention to Falz, who is known for being a prominent supporter of social justice, a lawyer, and a rapper.
