The 34-year-old rapper noted that it was not easy balancing his two careers. Falz also explained that a legal rule prohibited lawyers from participating in other ventures while actively practicing law.

Falz said

“There was a time I was in court, and living a double life at the time as well. Lawyer by day, rapper by night.

“So when I announced my appearance ‘With profound respect my lord, the name is Folarin Falana, appearing for the plaintiff’ and the judge lowered his glasses and said ‘counsel, are you not the one doing something else on the side?’

“There is an unspoken rule of professional conduct within the legal practice where you are not supposed to do other things.”
