Twitter users have criticised music rapper, Falz, for empathetically stating that he detests transactional sex which literally means having sex in exchange for gifts either monetary or material things.

Falz who is known for speaking about societal issues in most of his songs made these assertions during a private listening for his Album “Moral Instruction” which will drop on Tuesday.

Falz while answering a question from the audience said that he will continue to unashamedly talk about his aversion to prostitutes and ladies who prefer to get money by offering sex.

Falz said;

“Oh wow, feminist in the building. Shamelessly, I’ll continue to say it, I detest transactional sex. It’s my pain, it’s what I believe in. You’ll continue to hear it in my music whether you like it or not.

“And I’ll explain to you. Now the same feminist that will say the woman is free to do what she wants to do and who am I to tell the woman not to put herself up for money, the same feminist that will say that women are being objectified and that is not allowed.

“Now you are that same person that is going ahead to commodify yourself, you’ve turned yourself into a commodity. Self-objectification, self-commodification, I detest it and I’ll continue to detest it.

“Their argument often is that iI speak about the runs girls and I don’t often talk about the guys or the aristo men or whatever, if you’re going to talk about an epidemic, obviously you’re going to use the more popular scenario, the more relatable scenario and that is why I always use the runs girls scenario.”

His father, Femi Falana, Adekunle Gold and a host of other family, friends, fans were in attendance of the event which held in Lagos.

Many Twitter users made reference to the lyrics which said, ”Instead make you work, you dey find Alhaji, You come turn your body to cash and carry” and criticised the rapper for his obsession with ladies who have made a choice with what to do with their bodies.

Meanwhile, some hailed Falz for his assertions adding that feminist are annoyed that the singer is speaking the truth.

For all of you who say he doesn’t mention the buyers of sexual service, here he Falz goes: pic.twitter.com/qmRg7JUDTR

These are his words. So let him say what is truly bothering him because it’s surely not transactional sex.

If it was, he wouldn’t be so one-sided. Hyping sugar daddies in 1 breathe and condemning girls in the next. https://t.co/1DKgUaBEgY pic.twitter.com/QubkeHdoGt

And yk there are “G girls” too, but “G boys” are mostly shaded as to regards of “yahoo yahoo”. I feel it’s a matter of who society sees as the dominant gender in these areas. If you’re going to attack me, do it reasonably pls?. I’m no misogynist, bla bla

— Geoffrey (@_geoxpress) January 14, 2019

It really baffles me when some people come here and try to defend girls who are into transactional sex BUT wouldn’t want their children or younger sibling to indulge in it. Aren’t y’all just being hypocritical?

What’s good for the goose should also be perfect for the gander

— STYLE AUDITOR (@IAmMrMeks) January 15, 2019

Tbfh and nobody is getting it. He attacks yahoo boys, the entire government, women always be women and complain because he talked about them. If his music can help the next generation not do these things then he has done a good thing.

— Sweet Boy Hackett (@Greybean_) January 15, 2019

I don’t know why people are still bent on proving Falz wrong on this matter. He gave his opinion and I see nothing wrong with it. He did not body shame neither did he slut shame anyone, he just said what he does not like and I feel it’s for both genders and so Let him be abeg!

— BUNNY? (@Pretty_Bunny8) January 15, 2019

I dey always feel this dude @falzthebahdguy … though anyone is entitled to their opinion… mine though is that he is on point. If there is no seller, there is no buyer

— Aduroja Olawale (@ijesaboi) January 15, 2019

Until Falz verbally attack men in general,some people won’t be alright in this context. It’s no rocket science to understand what he said here. He hates transactional sex,which has to do with both genders.

— Judd (@ChibuzoJude) January 15, 2019

His Opinion
His moral belief
Let him live…

— Falilat (@Falilatt_) January 15, 2019

Falz says he hates transactional sex, but isn’t ‘Something Light’ about a girl that didn’t want to sleep with him even though he took her out and bought food for her? Isn’t that transactional??

— Ozymandias (@CHIZY_N) January 15, 2019

Falz is taking on an issue that could literally cost him everything. Being human, you won’t agree with everything he says but to make it about what you disagree with while ignoring what you agree with is to be deceptive. You probably don’t really care about anything!

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) January 15, 2019

Falz is allowed to detest transactional sex and sing to the high heavens about it.

And he has the law on his side.

Fighting Falz for his personal beliefs when his album isnt the constitution or a religious manual for living is an exercise in futility and downright bullying.

— A Fokken Princess! ? (@cremechic11) January 15, 2019

Falz attacks the Government,
Attacks Yahoo Boys
Attacks The Police Officers
Attacks Pastors
Attacks Religion
and also Attacks Runs Girls.

I wonder why you lot are selectively triggered.

Sex workers are angry about Falz transactional sex talk.

Catch them young ?

— IG: Omope Abdulazeez (@Iam_Abdulaxis) January 15, 2019

If girls were the ones majorly doing Yahoo and they’re the ones Falz have been attacking, he would have been called a misogynist since. Many woke women just come online looking for avenue to call men misogynists. Like making men look bad makes them feel good about themselves lols

Does he hate transactional sex or it’s the girls having it that bug him?

It’s so funny how y’all are against Falz and is defending something you wouldn’t let your sister do.

— ⒹⓇⓈ (@LordSurh) January 15, 2019

And y’all KNOW that Falz isn’t talking about roadside prostitution. He’s talking about chicks that drive nice cars and take great vacations. Pure undiluted jealousy and envy. How many of his “sweet boys” has he yabbed? Should we help him name them??
Trash!!!

— Ada Akunne (@SheisBoki) January 15, 2019

Burna Boy’s mum, Bose Ogulu was one of Fela Kuti’s dancers. His grandad, Benson Idonije was Fela’s Band Manager.

Falz’s dad, Femi Falana was Fela’s lawyer.

Abeg who did Falz just shade when he said “Take our Offering, Set up Uni and your church members couldn’t afford the school fees” ? #MoralInstruction

Nigerian feminist are just a set of hypocrites, you are mad at falz for saying he hates transactional sex. All u know how to do is come to Twitter and speak big English, but when it comes to champion a course that has to do with a girl child.#MoralInstruction

— #ENDASUUSTRIKE (@ChuksGPFR) January 15, 2019

Falz is a modernized Fela ??‍♂️

I’m not even sorry to say it.

Man touched every ills in our society with his Moral instruction album.

God bless Falz.

— IG: Omope Abdulazeez (@Iam_Abdulaxis) January 15, 2019

While other artistes are too busy “securing the bag”

Falz keeps on showing that it’s not just music, it’s an opportunity to have a voice and he’s not afraid to use it!!

Falz is modern day Fela, accept this fact or feel free to block me.

— Aba Boy?? (@Frank_LeanXV) January 15, 2019

If Falz has a problem with women using their vagina commercially, it’s his opinion. Fact: there are more female sex workers in Nigeria, same way there are more yahoo boys than girls. Watching you all clutch at straws defending something you wouldn’t let your sister do is amusing.

— Seun Adebajo (@seunadebajo) January 15, 2019

Women say if you are not scum why are you bothered when “Men are scum” is being discussed. Using this same energy on this falz issue, are you a runs girl? Why are you bothered? ?

— Obi Agu (@MrOkeke_) January 15, 2019

Of everything Falz sang about, criticizing govt, churches, supporting gay rights etc, it’s the part about “transactional sex” that ppl are focused on. Na wa.

Please, listen to #MoralInstruction and enjoy this rare kind of music no other Nigerian artist is bold enough to make.

— Ovie (@OvieO) January 15, 2019

My Oga, Falz broke all their tables… They’re just angry. Give it time, they will forget this episode.

— _tt.o (@Ugoo_Ogorr) January 15, 2019

There is a saying in the Bible that holds so true in this Falz case“ Professing themselves to be wise they became fools. Intricately & eloquently woven tweets & threads full of nonsense. How can you in your right mind argue with what Falz said ? Where’s the misogyny ?

— David (@UyiDm2) January 15, 2019

He spoke about the buyer (male) & the supplier (female) of transactional sex, stating that it’s morally wrong. Are you arguing that it’s right ? What exactly is your point ? Do you want to be paid for sex ? Is your business hurting ? Did he spoil your market ?

— David (@UyiDm2) January 15, 2019

You claim he only spoke about women & what about men who offer same service ? I thought generalization was the order when addressing a situation. You generalize terms like Men are scum or Yahoo boys, when not all men are scum & there are yahoo girls everywhere.

— David (@UyiDm2) January 15, 2019

Falz addressed corrupt politicians, police brutality, fraudsters, religious troubles, herdsmen,living fake life, MURIC,state of average Nigerians, civil servants salary and Alot more in his album #MoralInstruction but some folks are triggered about him calling out sex workers wow

— That Mech Kid ! (@r3al___AJ) January 15, 2019

@falzthebahdguy just dropped a timeless album addressing the issues of the nation and many of you are out here flipping your hair and throwing your wigs away over his comment against runz & prostitution. #Free Falz

— Ata Henry (@Atahenry) January 15, 2019

If ya doing olosho and ya angry falz is bashing you, get Italian visa and go chase your dreams where it is legal. Don’t disturb us pls.
