Nigerian singer Folarin Falana, better known as Falz, has expressed that he felt no pressure to pursue a law degree due to the success of his father, Femi Falana.
In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Falz disclosed that that he was inspired by the people his father fought for when he was growing up.
He said,
“I won’t say it was pressure but when I was super young, I was already getting that reaction everywhere I went if I ever mentioned my name, people would be like, ‘Which Falana? Is it Femi Falana? Oh wow.
“Everyone sort of had a story about how my dad came to their aid at some point in time and how he fought for them and was there for them. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured. I aspired to emulate what my father was doing.”
He noted that his father’s work had a significant impact on him, which inspired his decision to study law, even though he ultimately practiced for only a brief period.
“I did practice law for a very short period of almost two years. I started going out of practice in 2014 when things started to pick up for me.”
Falz and his father, Femi Falana have been in the news lately after their name popped up in the controversies surrounding crossdresser, Idris Okuneye better known as Bobrisky. Read Here
