In Falz’s new song, “Talk,†in which he said Buhari spent three years of his first term “holidaying,†he also called out “runs girls†over transactional s*x. Feminists criticized him hugely for singing so, to which he replied saying.
“Feminist in the building. Shamelessly, I’ll continue to say it, I detest transactional s*x. It’s my pain, it’s what I believe in. You’ll continue to hear it in my music whether you like it or not. And I’ll explain to you. Now the same feminist that will say the woman is free to do what she wants to do and who am I to tell the woman not to put herself up for money?
“The same feminist that will say that women are being objectified and that is not allowed. Now you are that same person that is going ahead to commodify yourself, you’ve turned yourself into a commodity. Self-objectification, self-commodification, I detest it and I’ll continue to detest it.â€
“Their argument often is that I speak about the runs girls and I don’t often talk about the guys or the aristo men or whatever, if you’re going to talk about an epidemic, obviously you’re going to use the more popular scenario, the more relatable scenario and that is why I always use the runs girls scenario.â€
