BNXN Slams Lagos Boat Ride Industry for Exploitation and Safety Issues
In the latest episode of Backstage Banter, hosted by Isi Ijewere in Canada, singer BNXN discussed the high costs and poor safety standards of boat rides in Lagos. When asked about the cost of a boat ride from Lekki to Ilase, he highlighted the exploitation within the industry, noting that companies charge exorbitant fees for boats that can’t safely accommodate the advertised number of passengers. He expressed frustration over the lack of life jackets on some boats used by those who pay much less.

He emphasized that the exploitation and lack of proper safety measures are major issues in Lagos’ boat ride industry.

Popular Nigerian singer Folarin Falana, known as Falz, has denied being in a relationship with controversial crossdresser Bobrisky amid ongoing legal battles with social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM). Last year, VDM leaked what he claimed was a phone conversation between Falz and Bobrisky while the singer was in prison. In response, Falz filed a defamation lawsuit against VDM, sparking widespread rumors about his personal life.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, Falz gave an update on the case, revealing that VDM has yet to present a defense. “The court dismissed their preliminary objection about jurisdiction, so now they have to respond properly or the court will rule in our favor,” he explained.
Addressing the rumors about Bobrisky, Falz clarified that he never had a relationship with the crossdresser. “Bobrisky reached out to me on Instagram asking for help while involved in a case. Like many others, I listened and tried to offer support out of compassion. I didn’t expect anything beyond that,” he said. Reflecting on the experience, Falz added, “Maybe I’ll be more cautious about who I help in the future, but it’s important to help when you can.”
Rapper and singer Folarin Falana, better known as Falz, has stood by his view that fornication isn’t a sin in the religion he follows. He recently stirred up controversy online after sharing on X that he doesn’t believe premarital sex is wrong. His post drew heavy criticism from both Christians and Muslims, many of whom cited religious texts to dispute his opinion.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Falz addressed the backlash, making it clear that he wasn’t speaking from a Christian or Islamic perspective. According to him, he now follows what he calls the “religion of love.” He explained that he no longer identifies as a Christian and that within his belief system, consensual sex between two unmarried adults isn’t seen as sinful.
“I wasn’t talking from a Christian point of view,” he said. “I follow the religion of love, and in that, I don’t see fornication as a sin. I questioned it — who exactly is it offending? These are two adults, not married, engaging in something consensual. I don’t see a problem.” Falz reaffirmed that his beliefs have shifted and that he no longer practices Christianity.
