Nigerian rapper and lawyer Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has stirred controversy on social media after making a provocative statement challenging Christian doctrine.
On Sunday, the artist took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to declare, “Fornication is not a sin.” The post immediately went viral, triggering heated debates among his followers and critics.
While some fans expressed shock and disapproval, others defended the rapper’s stance, leading to a clash of opinions online.
User @thefashygram repeatedly replied: “Fornication is a sin, FLEE Fornication is a sin, FLEE Fornication is a sin, FLEE Fornication is a sin, FLEE.”
@GiftAdikesq questioned Falz’s boldness: “I mean…. We all know it is wrong but to own it with one’s full chest? Omo.”
@mrwrongbutright expressed disappointment: “I’m Shocked to see this kind of tweet from a lawyer himself. May God have mercy.”
@Winifunds countered Falz directly: “We all wish it wasn’t, but it is. Fornication is a sin.”
@Chidima007 called out hypocrisy: “As if you don’t fornicate… Stupid Nigerians with their religious over-sabi.”
@Silvah101 accused critics of double standards: “Most of y’all are just certified hypocrites. You’re out here condemning this tweet yet you indulge in it.”
Some users took the discussion further by making insinuations about Falz’s personal life:
@Ot_rhody_1 mocked: “I’m not surprised ever since VDM off ur pant u no normal again.”
@Crownprince_Com hinted at a possible link with actress Funke Akindele: “Hope is not what I’m thinking with Aunty Funke.”
Falz’s statement challenges a widely held Christian belief that premarital sex is sinful. Given his influence as a public figure, his remarks have sparked discussions on morality, religion, and personal freedom.
While some applaud his boldness, others see it as irresponsible, especially coming from a lawyer known for his social commentary. The debate continues to trend, with no signs of slowing down.
