I detest transactional sex – Falz replies ‘Talk’ critics

Musician, Falz says nothing will stop him from highlighting and criticizing transactional sex in his music.

According to him, the practice is repugnant and as a musician who is bent on exposing the ills of society, he will constantly speak against it regardless.

“I detest transactional sex,” he says. “It’s my thing, that’s what I believe in. You’ll continue to hear it in my music whether you like it or not.”

His comment was in reaction to backlash from some females as regards the lyrics of his ‘Talk’ song.

Falz has been jabbed for criticizing prostitutes in the latest song. The ladies argued that he was unfair to them because he said nothing about men who employ the services of sex workers.

But the artiste during a listening session of his album noted that he will not be moved by the remarks.

He said: “The same feminists will say that the woman is free to do what they want to do and who am I to say to the woman not to put herself up for money? It’s the same feminists that will say that women are being objectified. Self-commodification, self-objectification, I detest it and I will continue to speak against it.”

About ‘Talk’

‘Talk’ is a socio-conscious record that addresses critical happenings and advises the youths to be wary of greedy politicians.

Produced by Yung Willis, the video sees the rapper criticize the corrupt practices politicians engage in, as well as issues regarding Christianity and tribalism in the country.

The video, themed in a video game format sees Falz driving around town alongside his team while different scenes relating to the lyrics play out.

The visuals portray a young boy playing a video game in which he controls Falz. Given the options to "Save Nigeria", "Relocate to Yankee" or "Join Gang", the boy chooses Falz to save his country, dressing him up as a judge or the leader of his own party.

The overarching message of the song and accompanying music video is that people should not be afraid to talk about the problems they face as talking is the first step in solving issues.
