Just look at what you've reduced your music career to. This is the same Falz who once had the industry at his feet, whose collaborations helped elevate other artists, and whose songs enjoyed massive airplay across the country. Today, however, relevance seems to arrive only when politics is involved.
The last time your music generated any significant buzz was during the 2023 elections when you released a politically charged song targeting the then INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu. Since then, your career appears to have retreated into its shell like a snail avoiding daylight.
Three years have passed. In that same period, artists like Olamide, Asake, Davido, and Wizkid have consistently released projects, dominated charts, and kept their names alive through music rather than political commentary.
Yet here you are again, returning to the microphone not with a hit record, but with another politically motivated performance. At some point, you have to ask yourself a difficult question, are you still chasing a music career, or are you simply borrowing politics to stay relevant?
Because from where many are standing, it increasingly looks like music has already moved on without you.
Dear Nigerians, I am very sorry for supporting Peter Obi in 2023. I supported a dunce.
He’s just making bogus promises without a single clue. A man that doesn’t even know what Green energy means wants to solve Nigeria’s power problems in 4 years.
No wonder they want PBAT out by all means.
We remain steadfast in our support and belief in the leadership and vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT).
Tinubu till 2031, by God’s grace. 🙏🇳🇬
The construction of the Calabar-Abuja superhighway; one of the four major legacy projects of this administration is moving at a rapid pace and the people of the benefitting states are excited.
The road begins from the spur of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in Cross River State (Ndibe Beach, Afikpo). It traverses Ebonyi, Benue, Kogi, and Nasarawa states, and terminates at Apo in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja).
The team @PBATMediaCentre spoke with some excited users as part of the ongoing Renewed Hope National Media Tour in the South East.

Dear Mr. David Adeleke AKA @Davido,
Thank you for your feedback. I was rather surprised by your response to my post, setting the record straight on Peter Obi's false allegations against His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, regarding the repatriation of Nigerian prisoners from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
Most shocking is your insult.
You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you.
Yes, I am aware that you were upset at my appeal to you not to use an international platform, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to give publicity to bandits and terrorists. I am also aware that Peter Obi praised you for doing that, which may have made you feel compelled to defend him.
I did that because while your intention may be good and you think you are pressuring the government, the actual effect of what you did is to give publicity to the terrorists and help them spread fear, recruit new members, and raise funds.
How can you, a Nigerian citizen, with a global platform, go on a global stage to give publicity to terrorists and de-market Nigeria, meanwhile, at that same event, and on that same day, IShowSpeed, an American citizen, used his celebrity and the global stage of the World Cup to market Nigeria by wearing a Nigerian jersey and speaking well of the same country you de-marketed.
Many of us do not know what we have got.
Let me give you an example: As an American citizen, you may be aware of the October 7, 2023, abduction of 254 people by terrorists in Israel, of whom the majority were women and children, including American, British, and Canadian citizens.
There are many celebrities bigger than you in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Since October 7, 2023, these celebrities have performed on many global platforms, including the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, and the UEFA Champions League.
Yet, none of them used such platforms to say ANYTHING about the October 7 abduction because they know that publicity helps terrorists and hurts hostages.
We saw that in Nigeria. The #ChibokGirls were abducted on April 14, 2014. The then Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, revealed that the military had located the girls and were ready to rescue them.
However, after Michelle Obama held up the #BringBackOurGirls banner in May of 2014, the publicity resulted in Boko Haram separating the girls into different groups and keeping them in various camps, while increasing security around them, which made it literally impossible to rescue them.
Thereafter, Boko Haram's recruitment was boosted, and their finances exploded, and six months later, ISIS announced that they had merged with Boko Haram to form ISWAP.
That is what I was trying to explain to you. Just like Margaret Thatcher said, "publicity is the oxygen of terrorism."
It is also why the UNESCO Handbook for Journalists on Terrorism Coverage urges public figures not to grant terrorists any publicity.
I hope you now understand my point of view. Thanks again, and may God bless you.

A situation where leaders keep pardoning captured terrorists, sponsoring mass wedding for multitudes of unemployed youths while poverty grows beyond measures will lead to catastrophic destination. If you like, keep blaming Tinubu.
Watch how this guy narrated how Nigerian masses blasted a Tinubu supporter at INEC office because they believe in Peter Obi candidacy.
Well they said Tinubu is Ok for Nigeria
Peter Obi said Nnamdi Kanu shouldn’t be in prison because “he was just speaking on radio and calling people names.”
Same Nnamdi Kanu that’s leader of IPOB terrorist group. A group that is known for killings, kidnappings, cannibalism and more.
