Nigerian rapper and actor, Falz, has lit up social media with a fiery post that calls out the relentless pressure to get married. Taking to his X account (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the outspoken entertainer didn’t mince words as he addressed a topic many Nigerians—especially celebrities—can relate to.
“Every little thing, ‘when are you getting married?’ Can everybody kindly fokofff?” Falz tweeted, mixing humor with sheer frustration in true Falz fashion. The tweet instantly went viral, with thousands reacting to the raw honesty behind the message.
Many fans applauded Falz for speaking up against societal pressure, especially in a culture where marriage is often seen as a milestone that must be reached by a certain age. While some laughed at the blunt delivery, others echoed the sentiment, commenting, “The pressure is real” and “Everyone has their own timing—marriage isn’t a checklist.”
This isn’t the first time Falz has sparked debate over traditional norms. Just recently, he stirred controversy with his comment that “fornication is not a sin,” proving once again that he’s not afraid to challenge the status quo.
Known for blending music, activism, and fearless opinions, Falz continues to be a voice for the younger generation who are pushing back against outdated expectations. His viral tweet adds to a growing conversation about individual freedom, mental health, and the right to live life on one’s own terms.
