For speaking out against making crime glamourous, Falz has more or less become a by-word. Not surprising, this backlash. Eldee wasn’t spared when he dared to speak out against Amber Rose’s slut walk, either. Twitter NG flung receipts about like confetti, Nigerians reminded him of his double speak, practically everyone descended on him without restraint.
But Falz is not Eldee and their talking points are dissimilar. Falz’s concern is that fellow artistes should stop making Evans and his ilk a thing to aspire to. Hear him speak:

Falz vs 9ice
Falz talk him own. 9ice talk him own. But the issue is BIGGER than these 2 talented artistes. The deeper issue is US, yes, YOU and ME.

Like Yahoo, Like Pablo Ayodeji
Falz, Davido and Dele Momodu’s beef
Falz wants to talk about morality and decency in art, but Davido insulted his elder, Dele Momodu, right on his own song.

What Falz did not say
The funny thing is, all Falz said was "Don't glorify fraudulent activities"…he didn't say "Don't do yahoo yahoo".

Falz didn't say dont do yahoo falz said stop hyping them so the young one's coming up wont think thats the only way to success.

Davido yabbing Dele Momodu on Falz' song & 419 are not the same thing. The former is disrespect at best and that is a moral issue

As Falz advised, instead of taking to yahoo, you can learn web and software development from us and develop a platform like Yahoo, Facebook

Falz is one bold young man. The educated will always differ from the uneducated. Only illiterates would slander him over what he said.

Falz did not seem to talk about 9ice specifically. Just as you can't be literal about his comedic accent, you can't be about any art form. 1

Falz spoke the absolute truth…only people who indulge in illegal activities will publicly come out to bash him.
— Uche Daniel (@UcheDandyMUFC) June 22, 2017
Falz said what he said and its all facts, whichever way you wanna look at it it's all 100% fact

If you don't see anything wrong with praising yahoo boys but find fault in Falz's comments aren't you a little like the free Evans people?

Falz has a genuine point about unscrupulous role models and how they influence those looking up to them
I hope he scolded his dad first sha

Look in the mirror
…and Falz is complaining about artistes hailing fraudsters. What do we do to Naija artistes that hailed this particular fraudster in 2015? pic.twitter.com/pcZjXpJcTQ

Last I checked, 'yahoo yahoo' was still stealing, there's nothing cool about it, so if you slander Falz for discouraging it, check urself.

Nigerians are not ready
I cannot believe that Falz is getting dragged for saying people should stop hailing fraudsters. Is everything okay in Nigeria?

Evans the kidnapper is being celebrated.
Falz who condemned celebration of fraud is being condemned.

The same people who say we should 'empathise' with Dammy Krane, are the very same criticising Falz. Nigerians are far from ready.
