Following the recent ban by NBC after a radio station was fined for airing the viral hit song “This is Nigeria”, the fight between Nigerian rapper, Falz and the National Broadcasting Commission is becoming more interesting!
The lyrics of the song was termed “indecent and vulgar” by the Nigeria’s National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in a letter to the radio station.
Here’s what Falz had to say about it: “
There is absolutely nothing vulgar about the song and I think it is ridiculous that the Nigerian Broadcast Commission singled out the least vulgar line in the song and ascribed it to be the reason they banned the song. It is a very simple and clean song. The only thing is that I was very blunt about the way I talk about things. I do not know maybe some messages in the song hit them and that is the real reason they banned the song. The line was, ‘This is Nigeria, look how we living now. Everybody be criminal.’ If they ban this song, then I do not understand them because that song is definitely not a vulgar song.”
Falz has decided to write to NBC through his lawyers to find out what is really going on and find out the reason behind the ban,
I could ask them to lift it if need be and if they do not adhere to my request, I might have to seek legal redress” he said.
