Nigerian rapper Falz shared his reasons for singing controversial songs and addressing sensitive subjects.

Remember that Falz sang a song in which he called out INEC's chairman and other parties for their conduct during the recent general election. They were accused of being involved in electoral malpractices during the just-concluded general election. He emphasized that he is not scared to die by speaking the truth hence the type of lyrics he uses for his songs.

In an interview with Arise Tv, Falz spoke out about the reasons he released such a controversial song. He stated that he would rather die fighting for justice than remain silent and suffer the failures of the system of the country.

He said, “I knew that was going to come up when you announced that I was doing this from London. Like I said earlier on, this is not the first time, this is not the second time, this is not the third time.

“I have released tons of records that are very confrontational. And I was on ground. I’m always on ground when I released these records.

“It is not to say that I’m running anywhere. Absolutely not. Everyone knows where to find me. If anyone wants to find me. But I have no reason to fear anything. And I always say this when people ask me ‘how do you do these things without any fear of consequences?’

“And this is the same answer that I always give: the kind of life we are living already is one which we are more or less fading away already. It’s not a meaningful life what we have in Nigeria as a country.

“What’s the worst that could happen? It’s death. I don’t fear death. I would rather go down fighting for a just cause. I would rather be remembered as someone that lived a life that was meaningful rather than someone that for example was walking down the road and got run over by a danfo [bus] because he was driving recklessly.

“Or, someone that got a heart disease and could not save himself because there are no hospitals capable of saving him in Nigeria,” Falz added.
