Mayorkun has filed a N1 billion lawsuit against TikTok influencer Nicki DaBarbie for defamation.

JomogNews reports that Nigerian singer, Adewale Mayowa widely known as Mayorkun has filed a N1 billion lawsuit against TikTok influencer, Nicki DaBarbie for defamation of character and ritual accusation.

It would be recalled that Nicki DaBarbie publicly accused Mayorkun and Skiibii of attempting to exploit her for occult practices.

These serious allegations have prompted Mayorkun to take swift legal action to defend his reputation.

Mayorkun, through his legal representatives, issued a letter demanding that Nicki DaBarbie cease making defamatory remarks about him and Skiibii.

The letter refuted all allegations made by the TikTok influencer and demanded the removal of the offensive content from all social media platforms within 24 hours.

Furthermore, Mayorkun’s legal team has demanded a payment of N1 billion in damages to compensate for emotional distress, lost endorsements, and legal fees incurred as a result of the defamation.

In addition to the financial compensation, Nicki DaBarbie has been instructed to issue a formal apology to Mayorkun on the same social media platforms where the defamatory remarks were made.

The document reads in part: “Our Client remains an individual of impeccable character and a strong moral compass and is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in the society. It is glaring that our client is extremely unpleased with these distasteful accusations as they are malicious accusations deliberately made to publicly tarnish our client’s image, cause significant harm to his reputation, and inflict irreparable damage to their personal and professional life.

This senseless episode has left a sour taste in our client’s mouth as he is a simple, honest, easy-going, and reputable Music Artiste who is now forced to clear his name and seek redress under Law.

In compliance with the High Court of Lagos Civil Procedure Rules 2019 which mandates that parties attempt to amicably resolve a matter before approaching the court and our Client’s unequivocal instructions, we hereby demand that you immediately adhere to the following conjunctively:

That you take down the offensive publication on all your social media accounts within 24 (Twenty-Four) hours of receipt of this letter.

That you will accompany the retraction of the offensive publication with a video and written apology to our client through the same platform(s) employed to tarnish his image including the publication of the written apology in (Two) 2 National Newspapers.

That you will henceforth desist from engaging in any acts written and/or verbal which are defamatory, slanderous, and/or libelous towards our client.

That you pay our client a sum of not less than (One) 1 Billion Naira (N1,000,000,000) as damages for all the emotional trauma, loss of endorsements, and cost of engaging Legal Counsel.”

Bewaji clocks a new age yesterday, April 19th 2024 and by extension shared 2 birthday posts and accompanied it with stunning photos.

In another video, Portable was spotted fuming so hard as he instructs his wife Bewaji to edit her birthday post or pack out of his house when she returns back from South Africa.

He said in the video; “Bewaji you better go and edit your birthday message, Or pack out of my house right away, how dare you say you are a Queen of yourself, well thank God I have many queens, All your friends advising and misleading you want to sleep with me, If you like do not do what I have instructed you to do, Plènty women to replace you they outside and you will never return back to my mansion.”

However, a quick check on Bewaji’s Instagram page today, April 20th 2024 confirms that she has bowed for her husband.

Bewaji Instagram page shows that she has deleted her second birthday post where she refers to herself as “Queen of herself” and by extension she is left with her first birthday.
