Falz's latest song 'Talk' has generated a lot of reactions from
Nigerians, with people picking different aspects of the song to analyze.
The rapper was especially criticized for slut-shaming sex
workers in his song. He was accused of criticizing women who sleep with men and
expect to be paid but having nothing to say about the men who employ the
services of sex workers.
In a private listening session of Falz' new album 'Moral
Instruction', Falz explained why he criticizes women who have sex and expect
money in return.
He said he hates transactional sex which is why he sings
against it. He also said that transactional sex leads to the objectification of
women.
"I hate transactional sex."
