African Queen crooner, Innocent Idabia, popularly known as 2face, has threatened to file a one billion naira defamation lawsuit against Olawale Ashimi (Brymo) over allegations made against him.
Brymo had claimed in a thread of tweets on Monday that 2face had accused him of sleeping with his wife, Annie Idibia, after which he sent boys to attack him.
However, in reply, 2face directed his lawyers to demand an apology from Brymo on all his social media platforms or face a one billion naira defamation lawsuit for his claims.
Brymo, who shared a screenshot of the letter, said: “I have received this from Innocent Idibia’s lawyers, or so it reads… I’ll advise they go to court, as I insist on all my tweets asserted… they are not “nonsense”.
The letter titled DEFAMATION OF MR. INNOCENT IDIBA and dated October 6 2021, reads: “We are solicitors to Mr Innocent (2baba), hereinafter referred to as “our client” and on whose instruction we write.
“Your publication on Twitter that our Client “falsely accused you of sleeping with his wife,” and that our Client “was responsible for the attack” on your person, which attack “was for supposedly bedding his Mrs or for claiming the spot of the greatest artiste alive,” amongst other similar false allegation have been brought to our Client’s notice.
“The baseless and false accusation has caused unspeakable distress to our client and his family. You have also caused estimation to be lowered in the estimation of his friends, business associates and wilder members of the public and further caused him a significant loss of business.
“Our Client will give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you were inspired to spew such nonsense after one of such self-confessed episodes of “spending days getting high and philandering.” In which case, we demand that within 48 hours of receipt of this letter, you withdraw your statements, and publish on your entire social media accounts an unreserved apology to our Client and his wife.
“Should you fail or refuse to meet our demands, we shall perfect our client’s instruction and pursue redress by seeking no less than one billionaire naira in damages against you in court.”
The 35-year-old “Ara” crooner had also appealed to 2face to desist from communicating with him or anyone close to him.
