Rapper Clarifies Controversial Statement, Reveals He Now Follows “Religion of Love”
Nigerian rapper and actor Falz has found himself at the center of a heated religious debate after boldly declaring on social media that “fornication isn’t a sin.” The statement, which initially left many fans and religious followers shocked, has now been clarified by the artist in a revealing interview with Arise TV.
The Controversial Tweet
Earlier this week, the “This Is Nigeria” hitmaker took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his unconventional take on premarital sex, writing simply: “Fornication isn’t sin.” The post immediately drew backlash from both Christian and Muslim followers, who flooded his replies with scriptural references condemning the act.
Falz’s Clarification: “I Practice the Religion of Love”
Addressing the uproar, Falz explained that his statement was not made from a traditional religious standpoint. “People assumed I was speaking from a Christian perspective,” he said. “But I wasn’t. I practice the religion of love. Under that religion, I don’t think fornication is a sin.”
The rapper, known for his socially conscious music, went further to question societal norms around sex, asking: “Why are we not allowed to engage in premarital intercourse? What is the issue? Who does it offend? These are two unmarried people—willingly, consensually. Personally, I don’t think there’s a problem there.”
A Shift in Beliefs
In a surprising revelation, Falz confirmed that he no longer identifies as a Christian. “I’m no longer a Christian,” he stated firmly. “I practice the religion of love.” While he did not elaborate further on his spiritual journey, his comments suggest a departure from conventional religious doctrines.
Mixed Reactions
The rapper’s remarks have continued to stir debate online, with some applauding his honesty and others criticizing his stance as morally reckless. Religious leaders and conservative netizens have condemned his views, while progressive voices argue for personal freedom in matters of faith and sexuality.
As the conversation unfolds, one thing is clear: Falz remains unafraid to challenge norms—both in his music and his beliefs. Whether this latest revelation will influence his artistry or fanbase remains to be seen.
