Mr Jollof’s wife files N500m lawsuit against VeryDarkMan for defamation

Published

Esinjemiyotan, the wife of comedian Mr Jollof, has filed a N500 million lawsuit against VeryDarkMan for alleged defamation.

The lawsuit follows a series of allegations made by the Abuja-based activist, who claimed Esinjemiyotan used promiscuous means to help the comedian, born Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, secure his appointment as the senior special assistant (SSA) on new media to Sheriff Oborevwori, Delta state governor.

VeryDarkMan also accused her of having an affair with an internet fraudster at a hotel in Delta.

In response, Prime Chambers, Esinjemiyotan’s legal team, issued a statement denying the accusations.

The statement described VeryDarkMan’s claims as an “intentional attempt to tarnish our client’s reputation”.

The law firm added that the allegations have subjected Esinjemiyotan to “insults and degrading comments” on social media.

Similarly, according to a writ of summons, which Mr Jollof shared on Instagram, Esinjemiyotan is seeking N500 million in damages for the “harm caused to her reputation and business”.

The lawsuit — filed on September 27 at the Delta state high court in Effurun — requests that the court declare VeryDarkMan’s publications between September 15 and 19 “defamatory”.

Esinjemiyotan is asking the court for an order directing the activist to publicly apologise in at least two national newspapers and on all his social media platforms.

She is also seeking a perpetual injunction preventing the activist from making further defamatory statements about her, either directly or through any associates.

“An order of this Honourable Court directing the Defendant to pay the sum of N500,000,000.00 (Five Hundred Million Naira) as general damages,” the suit partly reads.

“An order directing the Defendant to publish an apology to the Claimant in two national dailies and all his social media handles. An order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant from further making any defamatory publication against the Claimant.”

In reaction to the lawsuit, VeryDarkMan took to Mr Jollof’s comment section on Wednesday to call him a “fool”.

“You be mumu😂,” he wrote.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.

Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.

On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.

In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
