Nigerian rapper and singer Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has clarified his controversial statement about fornication, insisting it is not a sin in his belief system.
The artist recently stirred reactions on social media after posting on X (formerly Twitter) that fornication is not a sin. His claim sparked widespread backlash, with Christian and Muslim users quoting religious scriptures in response.
In a follow-up interview with Arise TV, Falz doubled down on his stance, explaining that he was not speaking from a Christian or Islamic perspective. Instead, he said he now practices a “religion of love”, which does not view fornication as sinful.
“I think people read the tweet and assumed I meant according to Christianity,” he said. “I wasn’t really speaking from that perspective. I practice the religion of love, and under that religion, I don’t think fornication is a sin.”
Falz explained further that he questioned the logic behind the societal and religious restrictions on premarital sex.
“Why are we not allowed to engage in premarital intercourse? What is the issue? Who does it offend? These are two unmarried people—willingly and consensually. Personally, I don’t think there’s a problem there.”
The rapper concluded by making it clear that he no longer identifies as a Christian, emphasizing his belief in love as a guiding principle.
