Nigerian rapper and singer, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has stirred controversy after reiterating that fornication is not considered a sin in the religion he now practices.
The entertainer recently caused a stir on social media after declaring via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that fornication is not a sin. His comment drew widespread backlash, with many Christian and Muslim users quoting scriptures to counter his assertion.
In response to the heated reactions, Falz addressed the matter during an interview on Arise TV, maintaining his stance and offering clarification. According to him, he no longer identifies as a Christian and now follows what he described as the “religion of love.”
“I think people would read the tweet and just assume that I meant according to Christianity,” he explained. “I wasn’t really speaking from that perspective. I practice the religion of love. Under that religion, I don’t think fornication is a sin.”
He further elaborated on his reasoning, questioning the moral objections to consensual sex between unmarried adults. “Why are we not allowed to engage in this premarital intercourse? What is the issue? Who does it offend? These are not married people. These are two unmarried people. Willingly. Consensually. Personally, I don’t think there is a problem there,” Falz stated.
