Falz made it known that he hated transactional sex and he would keep talking about it in his song. This made social media to react sensitively to the statement made by Falz.

The lawyer turned musician was also blasted for slut-shaming ‘runz Girls’ on his new released song titled ‘Talk,’ off his new Moral Instruction album.

Some critics believed Falz was being unfair and one sided, he was tagged a misogynist for not also attacking the men who employ the services of these prostitutes he talks negative about.

She further said she wouldn’t want anyone she knows to engage in transactional sex, hence, she won’t support it, nor respect the act, even though she respects their decisions.
