Bobrisky sues VeryDarkMan for N1bn, says voice recording was AI-generated

Idris Okuneye, Nigerian social media influencer and cross-dresser, who is popularly known as Bobrisky, has filed a lawsuit against internet activist and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, who is popularly referred to as VeryDarkMan (VDM), seeking N1 billion in damages.

The legal battle stems from VDM sharing a 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 denied the claims, saying that the voice recordings purportedly implicating him in any wrongdoing were artificially generated using AI technology.

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.
