In October 2020, Falz called on Runtown and other Nigerian celebrities to join the #EndSARS protests in Lagos, South West Nigeria, calling on the government to end police brutality.
The singer is vocal about issues bordering on social justice across the country. Paying tribute to the victims of police brutality, he released a music video for “Johnny”, the first single off his last album, Moral Instruction.
He wrote in a post introducing the song, “We will never forget the heroes that have been unlawfully slain. This is for them. For every single Nigerian life snatched away unlawfully, we must make sure we get justice.” “Almost two years since I released the audio. Even more disturbing to think that as time passed, the message became more relevant.”
