I was inspired by my dad, not pressured to become a lawyer – Falz
Popular Nigerian singer, Folarin Falana also known as Falz, has disclosed that he was inspired by his father, Femi Falana, to become a lawyer like him.
Falz clarified that he wasn’t forced to follow in the footsteps of his father, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
According to the ace rapper, the success story of his father and the people he fought for when he was growing up led him to study law.
“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 said.
He said his father’s work left a lasting impression on him and on his own, he decided to study law, even though he only went on to practice for a short time.
Falz added, “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.”
