Falz TheBahd guy has reacted to being referred to as a “slut shamer” as many ladies believe his songs always make him look that way with lyrics that attack commercial sex workers.
This issue came up during the launch of his new album, Moral Instruction which will be coming out today, 15th of January 2019, The album launch was organized in form of a school with some of the organizers dressed like students and Falz in front of a board teaching, a practical format of what he is set to do with his album, to morally instruct.
During the launch. a lady asked him to address the rumour that he loves slut-shaming.
In response, 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.
Another lady took up the issue and stated that Falz doesn’t speak about the buyers rather he just attacks the sellers of sex. In responding to that, Falz said, Regards to Your Mumsi mocked very seriously the buyer of the body.
“…the person that patronizes the Runz girls… of course they’re aristo guys, but we all know that the runs girls epidemic is… I mean, come on… and another song will still come and will still talk about the buyers so stay tuned.”
The issue has hit Twitter and people are of the opinion that Falz has done the right thing while some are saying he has double standards because he celebrates or rather glorifies aristo men while he harshly criticizes runs girls.
