I Don’t Fear Death —  Falz Reacts to New Song

I Don’t Fear Death —  Falz Reacts to New Song | Daily Report Nigeria

Rapper Folarin Falana, AKA Falz has said he is not afraid of the consequences his new controversial song titled “Yakubu” would bring.

Falz had released a Vector-assisted song titled, ‘Yakubu’ which he claimed was inspired by the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof Mahmood Yakubu.

In the “confrontational” song, the rappers called out INEC, its chairman, as well as parties allegedly involved in the electoral malpractices in the just-concluded presidential election in Nigeria.

Falz spoke in an interview with Arise TV via Skype from the United Kingdom that he was neither afraid of the aftermath of his action, nor death.

The lawyer claimed he would rather die fighting against injustices than remain silent.

On claims that he ran away to hide after the release of the song, Falz said he had recorded such kinds of songs in the past and had stayed in the country till the songs ceased to trend.

He said:
I knew that was going to come up when you announced that I was doing this from London. Like I said earlier on, this is not the first time, this is not the second time, this is not the third time.

“I have released tons of records that are very confrontational. And I was on ground. I’m always on ground when I released these records.

“It is not to say that I’m running anywhere. Absolutely not. Everyone know where to find me. If anyone wants to find me. But I have no reason to fear anything. And I always say this when people ask me ‘how do you do these things without any fear of consequences?’

“And this is the same answer that I always give: the kind of life we are living already is one which we are more or less fading away already. It’s not a meaningful life what we have in Nigeria as a country.

“What’s the worst that could happen? It’s death. I don’t fear death. I would rather go down fighting for a just cause. I would rather be remembered as someone that lived a life that was meaningful rather than someone that for example was walking down the road and got run over by a danfo [bus] because he was driving recklessly.

“Or, someone that got a heart disease and could not save himself because there are no hospitals capable of saving him in Nigeria.”
