2face, Nigerian pop star, has threatened to sue Brymo, his colleague, for alleged defamation.
The ‘Akoko’ singer had, in a lengthy Twitter rant on Tuesday night, alleged that 2Baba “falsely” accused him of sleeping with his wife.
The artiste also alleged that he was attacked by men loyal to the ‘True love’ crooner over reasons that weren’t exactly established.
On Thursday, Brymo took to Twitter to share a court document sent to him by 2Baba’s lawyer alleging defamation.
In the letter, 2Baba’s lawyers said Brymo’s claims caused his family “unspeakable distress” and damages.
Describing Brymo’s claims as false, 2Baba demanded an apology and threatened to seek N1 billion in damages.
According to 2Baba’s lawyers, the singer will go to court should Brymo fail to retract his statement within two days.
“The baseless and false allegations have caused unspeakable distress to our client and his family,” the letter read.
“You have also caused our client’s estimation to be lowered in the estimation of his friends, business associates, and wider members of the public, and further caused him a significant loss of business.
“Our client will give you the benefit of a doubt, perhaps you were inspired to spew such nonsense after one of such self-confessed episodes of ‘spending days getting high and philandering’.
“We demand that, within 48 (forty-eight) 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 instructions to pursue redress by seeking no less than one billion naira in damages against you in court.”
In reaction to the threat, Brymo wrote on Twitter: “I’ll advise they go to court. I insist on all my tweets asserted.”
Brymo wrote in another tweet: “Bros…your reign is over, stay at home…start a farm.Na music we dey do for here, no be godfather we dey form”.
