By #Talk: Rapper Falz shades MURIC, pastors, politicians in new video
Rapper Falz is at it again and this time, he sheaths no sword as he comes for corrupt politicians and pastors.
In the video to his latest single titled ‘Talk’, the lawyer, actor, comedian and social commentator who however remains on of the top music act in the country rekindles the controversy caused by his 2018 controversial song ‘This is Nigeria’.
Falz in his opening line, flowed “Brother Muri shout finish, we no see am for court” (after making so much noise, MURIC refuses to turn up in court). This line is a direct sub at Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) which frowned at Falz’ use of hijab wearing girls in his ‘This is Nigeria’ video.

Falz is seen outside a courtroom waiting for Professor Akintola while girls in hijab can AGAIN be seen in the background.
MURIC has earlier given Falz a seven-day ultimatum to withdraw the video and apologise to Muslims over what it termed “insensitive, thoughtless and highly provocative” but the rapper who is also the son of human right activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana rebuffed the threat. This was however later withdrawn by MURIC.

Falz also came for politicians in ‘Talk’ criticising their perchant for travelling abroad at the expense of the masses.
Corrupt pastors were not left out as Falz criticised their act of buying private jets with tithes and offerings of church members while the givers wallow in penury.
Falz is fast establishing himself as the new social crusader with his music with songs like ‘Child of the World’, ‘This is Nigeria’ and now, ‘Talk’.
‘Talk’ is off Falz’ upcoming fourth studio album which he titles ‘Moral Instruction’.
