Nigerian rapper Falz has sparked a flurry of reactions online after airing his stance on premarital sex, stressing that fornication is ‘not a sin’, contrary to what is written in the Holy Bible.

Falz took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on May 11, 2025, with his post, ‘Fornication is not a sin,’ challenging traditional religious teachings and quickly sparking a wave of reactions from fans and critics.

While some defended Falz’s right to express his opinion, many others, especially from the religious community, were quick to rebuke the claim, citing biblical references. His post also stirred intense debate on across social media platforms from X to Instagram.

See reactions below:

Fornication is a sin, FLEE! Fornication is a sin, FLEE! Fornication is a sin, FLEE ! Fornication is a sin, FLEE

I’m shocked to see this kind of tweet from a lawyer himself. May God have mercy.

No wonder you no gree marry🤣🤣🤣

You dey follow chase clout at your age

Don’t let anyone deceive you,there is no advantage to having premarital se#x. It hampers your emotional progress,physical health,spiritual closeness with God and mental health. Bed undefiled! Stay safe . FLEE!✌

Yea it’s not a sin. It’s disobedience to God’s commandment. 😑

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body , always read your bible

Many things are not ACTUALLY not a Sin but we’ve been MISLEADED

In her absence, Femi Adebayo, producer and director of “Seven Doors,” received the award on her behalf.

The movie Seven Doors won two more awards at the event, with Adebayo winning Best Lead Actor and Tolu Obanro winning Best Score/Music.

The movie, jointly directed by Adebayo, Adebayo Tijani, and Tope Adebayo, tells the story of King Adedunjoye, a reluctant king whose reign is haunted by a generational curse.

To break the curse, the King must open ‘seven doors,’ which means marrying six more wives. His deep love for his wife, Amaka, makes this a herculean task.

Pastor Daniel Olawande, lead pastor of RCCG The Envoys, Lagos, has opened up about a time he got fed up with his wife and how she managed to revive his interest in her.

Speaking on the podcast “Love Gist”, Pastor Olawande recounted how he felt disconnected from his wife, finding her less appealing and attractive.

He explained that the situation led him to seek the help of a mentor who intervened and invited his wife for a meeting.

After the intervention, he noted that his wife surprised him with a romantic evening at a hotel, complete with roses and a specially prepared meal.

Pastor Olawande acknowledged the romantic evening as what revived the romance and passion in their marriage.

He said, “There was a time that I felt disconnected from my babe, and I was just tired of her. I know you’ll be shocked to hear this but I was just tired, I was just fed up as in she wasn’t appealing to me anymore, she wasn’t attractive and I became overwhelmed, like she touches me, I’m touchy, like she was even the one asking for s3x at that time and I was not available. Any little thing, I was not excited anymore, and I don’t know what was happening, so I had to go to a mentor to talk to her about it.

“I don’t know what is happening, I get angry easily, I get emotional, I mean I just become defensive, I’m not just attracted to her as it were and we’ve not, of course when I fast, we don’t have s3x but this one, there’s no fasting and I’ve not been able to even come close to my wife for a while.

“I was just disconnected from her, and I was not really feeling it anymore, but I went to her mentor, and her mentor spoke to her, her mentor apologised on her behalf, her mentor said that she was going to talk to her, so her mentor called her for a meeting.

“I don’t know what they discussed and then the next evening, we were going out and my wife requested that I allow her to drive and then she drove the car and drove me to a hotel and I got there, she said we’re going to see somebody and then we’re going, I was like who am I going to see and I entered the room, I saw roses on the floor, roses on the bed, I saw a table set before me, a lot of, you know, a lot of different kinds of dishes and I’m like what’s this, what’s happening she said I made all this for you and I’m like wow, I sat down, I started eating, I was eating this, eating this, before I finished it, I transferred money to her, something immediately, you know, and then all the love that died, the love came back that night.”
