At 33, Nigerian rapper and singer Folarin Falana, better known as Falz, finds himself at the crossroads of personal desires and familial expectations. In an intimate conversation with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos, Falz shared insights into his single life and the pressures that come with it.
Despite the playful nudges from his father, renowned lawyer Femi Falana, and the concerns of his mother, Falz remains steadfast in his decision to marry on his own terms. “I’m single to stupor,” he jests, “but no one, not even my dad, can pressure me into marriage.”
Reflecting on his past, Falz recalls his last serious relationship during his university days, a time before the complexities of celebrity life took hold. Today, he navigates a world where his status as a public figure adds layers of difficulty to finding true commitment. “It’s challenging to balance a booming career with a healthy relationship,” he admits, “so I’m being careful.”
As Falz continues to charm audiences with his music and wit, his personal journey remains a testament to the delicate dance between public life and private happiness. For now, he chooses to tread carefully, ensuring that when love does come knocking, it’s the right rhythm to his beat.
