Yhemolee files N200m defamation suit against singer Lilfrosh

Yhemolee has filed a lawsuit against Lilfrosh over the latter’s claim of assault and threat to life.

Lilfrosh had previously accused the nightlife influencer of “bullying and slapping” him.

The singer claimed Yhemolee “threatened” him and should be held responsible “if anything bad happens” to him.

But in a letter dated November 29, Yhemolee’s lawyers described the accusations as defamatory and false.

He argued that Lilfrosh portrayed him as a “thug and lawless individual whose preoccupation is to assault”.

Yhemolee also said Lilfrosh’s accusations caused him (Yhemolee) “multiple death threats from random people”.

The nightlife promoter demanded a retraction of the statement and a public apology from the singer.

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

“Our client is convinced that your publications are actuated by your malicious propensity and attention-seeking determination to bastardize his brand as an entertainer and an influencer of repute,” Yhemolee’s letter reads.

“Our client hereby denies every allegation of material fact or innuendo: that he did not and has never slapped you, that he has not threatened your life in any form.

“We hereby demand the following: that you desist forthwith from making further or fresh defamatory statements of any sort against our Client on Instagram or any other medium.

“A full and unconditional retraction of every defamatory statement, an unconditional apology both in words and by video, to be posted on your Instagram account.

“That you pay to our client the sum of two hundred million Naira (N200, 000,000) as general and aggravated damages for your defamatory statements.”
