Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has clarified the meaning behind his controversial post on X (formerly Twitter) from Sunday, May 13, 2025, where he wrote: “Fornication is not a sin.”
Fornication Is Not a Sin, Falz Explains Why
Speaking on the Maxhits Show, Falz explained that the post wasn’t just about fornication. Instead, it was a broader call to question long-standing beliefs and societal rules, especially those accepted without critical thought.
“Is fornication really a sin?” he asked. “We need to question stuff. Just like any other set of rules, we’re often told to follow them blindly but sometimes they need to be questioned.”

He pointed out that many Africans grow up discouraged from asking questions, particularly when it comes to religion or authority.
“This is an African thing,” Falz said. “We’ve been discouraged from being curious. As a child, if you ask something like, ‘Where is God?’ you’re told to keep quiet. We grow up conditioned not to question religion, life, or authority.”
While acknowledging the role of religion in helping people stay grounded, he urged listeners not to shy away from examining the foundations of what they believe.
“Religion gives us structure, yes. But questioning is not rebellion, it’s part of understanding.”
Reactions to his comments have been sharply divided. Some praise the rapper for promoting independent thought, while others criticize what they see as a challenge to traditional values and scripture.
Falz, known for using his platform to speak out on politics, culture, and human rights, continues to ignite national discourse – this time on the tension between faith, curiosity, and intellectual freedom.
