Popular Nigerian singer Folarin Falana, known by his stage name Falz, has stated that his dad’s success did not influence him to study law.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Falz said he was never forced into taking the course because his father, Femi Falana, was successful.
According to the singer, while growing up, he was influenced by the kind of people his father fought for.
Well, I wouldn’t say it was pressure, but from when I was super young, that was always the reaction I got everywhere. If I ever mentioned my name, people would say, ‘Which Falana? Femi Falana? Oh wow.
“Everybody kind of had a story about how my dad came to their aid at some point in time and how he fought for them and how he was there for them. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured. I wanted to be like what my father was doing.
He said his father’s work left a lasting impression on him, and on his own he decided to study law, even though he has only gone on to practice for a short time.
“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.”
