I Never Called Any Politician’s Name Despite Criticising Bad Governance – Falz

Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has said he has never mentioned the name of any politician or political party while speaking out against bad governance in Nigeria.

The singer made the statement during an interview on Arise 360 while responding to a question about whether his advocacy against poor governance had ever affected his business opportunities.

Falz revealed that a group once contacted his management for a partnership but later raised concerns about his comments on Nigerian politics.

Despite this, the rapper insisted that his message has always been about addressing poor governance rather than attacking any individual or political party.

According to him, anyone who feels offended by his remarks should examine why they are taking his comments personally.

He stressed that he speaks against bad practices affecting Nigerians and not against specific people.

“The way I look at that is it was never meant for me. If you feel in any way attacked or feel like what I’m doing is directed at you, then maybe I don’t even want to be there. Maybe I shouldn’t even be there because what I’m saying is the truth.

“I’m not singling out anyone to antagonize. What I’m speaking to is the practice and not really the people in particular. I’ve mentioned no name and no political party. They told my manager it was something political, but this has absolutely zero political affiliation. I’m simply talking about what is happening. If you have a problem with that, then you are the problem,” Falz said.
