POPULAR INFLUENCER CHALLENGES FALZ’S CLAIM THAT ‘FORNICATION IS NOT A SIN’
Popular Nigerian writer and social commentator Solomon Buchi has publicly criticized singer Falz following the latter’s controversial assertion that “fornication is not a sin.” The claim, made in a social media post on X, stirred intense debate, particularly among religious users and conservative voices. Buchi, known for his Christian values and bold opinions, took to the comments section to directly rebuke the singer.
“You’re wrong. The Bible is right,” Buchi wrote. He went on to cite scripture in defense of his stance, noting that “Marriage is honourable, [and] the bed undefiled,” implying that sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage is morally and spiritually wrong. His response was part of a broader discussion that followed Falz’s comments, with many Nigerians expressing frustration at what they viewed as a growing trend of celebrities normalizing behavior that conflicts with religious teachings.
The incident has sparked wider conversations about the role of public figures in shaping cultural and moral discourse. While some defended Falz’s right to express his personal beliefs, others warned that such statements can influence young followers in harmful ways. Buchi’s intervention has helped reframe the conversation around personal accountability, religious conviction, and the responsibilities that come with fame.
