A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ayekooto Akindele, has slammed Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, known by his stage name Falz, over the latter’s recent comments against the Nigerian First Lady, Remi Tinubu.
Falz had, during an interview on
Arise TV, lambasted the First Lady for appealing to Afrobeats artistes to stop
purchasing flashy cars and use the money for charity foundations.
The First Lady, who made the appeal in Lokoja on Saturday,
urged the artistes to support small-scale businesses, stating that the
government is being overwhelmed.
Reacting, Falz argued that it is the sole responsibility of
the government to lift struggling citizens and business owners out of poverty.
“Why asking individuals when this is actually your job to
do? What do you mean by pressure on the government? Did anyone force you to
take up the job?”, the rapper asked.
He further recalled that the “campaign slogan for this
administration was emilokan which means it’s my turn.
“From day one that you set out your political journey, this
is the day you have been waiting for so how can you come and say pressure is
much on you?”
Reacting to Falz’s outburst, Ayekooto, in a post on his
official X handle, asked the rapper to stop speaking jargons.
According to Ayekooto, Falz was not mentioned in the appeal
by the First Lady because he also needs help.
“Falz, stop talking jargons. The First Lady didn’t mention
your name, she knows you yourself need help due to career capsizing. She only
mentioned Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy.
“So, why you’re the one replying is what I don’t
understand”, he wrote.
