Lil Frosh files countersuit against Yhemolee, demands N500m for alleged assault

Lil Frosh has responded to Yhemolee’s lawsuit by filing a counterclaim.

In the countersuit, the singer is seeking N500 million in damages for the alleged assault.

Lil Frosh had accused Yhemolee, a nightlife influencer, of bullying and slapping him.

The singer alleged a threat to life and said Yhemolee should be held responsible “if anything bad happens” to him.

Yhemolee, in a statement through lawyers, labelled the accusations as defamatory and false.

He had requested the payment of the sum of N200 million for damages.

Lil Frosh’s lawyers, on Thursday, countered Yhemolee’s suit, alleging their client was assaulted at an event.

The lawyers said over 50 individuals witnessed the alleged assault.

They said the truthfulness of their claims can be supported by videos made from the event.

They also dismissed Yhemolee’s claim as “baseless” and described his demands as “laughable”.

“In the presence of over 50 people, at the event, your client not only slapped our client but continued to punch our Client to the extent that our Client sustained injuries,” the letter from Lil Frosh’s lawyers reads in part.

“Our client’s claims against your client are neither malicious, reckless nor false: rather, the claims are factual and truthful, which can be substantiated by witnesses at the event and videos taken and posted by our client.

“Therefore, your claims and demands as stated in your letter are baseless, unfounded, and not granted by our client. It is rather laughable that your client would make such bogus demands from our client.”

Lil Frosh demanded a written undertaking from Yhemolee, a public apology, and N500 million as compensation.
