The artist recently sparked a wave of heated debate on social media after he posted on X (formerly Twitter) that “fornication isn’t a sin.”

The statement drew swift backlash from both Christian and Muslim followers, who cited scriptural references to challenge his stance.

“I think people would read the tweet and just assume that I meant according to Christianity. I wasn’t really speaking from that perspective,” he said.

Falz explained that his belief system, the “religion of love”, does not condemn consensual intimacy between unmarried adults.

“Under that religion, I don’t think fornication is a sin. Because I looked at it, I strictly addressed the issue: 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,” he said.
