Nigerian rapper, actor, and activist Falz has dismissed long-standing rumours suggesting that he endorsed a political candidate during Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, insisting that he has never publicly backed any politician.
Addressing the speculation, Falz clarified that while he has consistently encouraged Nigerians to participate in the democratic process and vote responsibly, he has never used his platform to endorse any individual seeking political office.
The award-winning entertainer explained that his advocacy has always centered on good governance, accountability, justice, and active civic participation rather than partisan politics. He stressed that promoting voter awareness should not be mistaken for supporting a specific political party or candidate.
Rumours about Falz’s alleged endorsement resurfaced on social media, prompting the musician to publicly correct what he described as misinformation. He urged Nigerians to verify claims before sharing them online, warning that false narratives can easily spread and mislead the public.
Falz has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most outspoken entertainers, frequently commenting on social justice issues, governance, police reform, and youth participation in national affairs. His activism, particularly during the #EndSARS movement, has made him a prominent public voice on issues affecting Nigerians.
Political analysts note that celebrities often face misinformation during election periods, especially when they speak on civic issues without explicitly aligning themselves with political parties.
Falz reaffirmed that his commitment remains focused on advocating for a better Nigeria through responsible citizenship and constructive public engagement rather than political endorsements.
His clarification comes as discussions surrounding the 2023 elections continue to generate debate online, with public figures increasingly speaking out to correct misleading narratives circulating on social media.
