Falz Says His Activism Is About Bad Governance, Not Targeting Politicians Or Parties
Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has clarified that his outspoken views on governance are not directed at any particular politician or political party, insisting that his focus remains on issues affecting Nigerians.
The entertainer made the clarification during a recent appearance on Arise 360, where he addressed questions about whether his advocacy and social commentary had affected his career opportunities and brand partnerships.
Falz revealed that a company once approached his management for a possible collaboration but later raised concerns about his stance on political and social issues in the country.
However, the rapper explained that his criticism has always been centred on systems and policies rather than individuals, noting that he has never publicly attacked any politician or political organisation by name.
According to him, his message is about demanding accountability and speaking against poor governance rather than promoting any political agenda.
“I’m not single handedly picking at anyone to antagonise. What I’m speaking to is the practice and not even really the people in particular. I’ve mentioned no name, I’ve mentioned no political party or whatever.”
The “This Is Nigeria” crooner added that people who feel personally offended by his comments may be associating themselves with the issues he highlights.
Falz also stated that he would rather lose certain opportunities than compromise his values or stop speaking about issues he believes are important.
He explained that if some organisations are uncomfortable with his position on social matters, then such partnerships may not align with his personal principles.
The rapper has remained one of Nigeria’s most vocal entertainers on social issues, frequently using his music and public platform to address topics including governance, inequality, and national challenges.
