In a recent interview with media host Chude Jideonwo, Nigerian singer and rapper Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz, opened up about his journey into law, addressing the common assumption that he pursued the profession due to the immense success of his father, renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana.

Contrary to popular belief, Falz explained that his choice to study law was not influenced by pressure from his father’s achievements but rather by the stories and experiences of those who had been impacted by Femi Falana’s activism.

Falz reflected on his early years, sharing how, even as a child, he often encountered people who had stories of how his father had stepped in to fight for their rights.

These encounters, he said, left a significant mark on him, making him admire his father’s dedication to justice.

“I wouldn’t say I was pressured into studying law because of my dad, but growing up, I heard so many stories about how my father had fought for different people.

Every time someone heard my surname, they’d immediately ask if I was related to Femi Falana and then proceed to tell me how my dad had helped them,” Falz recounted during the conversation.

These experiences sparked a desire in him to follow a similar path, not out of obligation, but out of admiration for the work his father was doing.

“There was this sense of pride in knowing that my dad was out there fighting for justice,” Falz remarked.

He added that seeing the positive impact his father had on so many lives made him aspire to emulate that level of commitment to others.

However, his legal career would not last long as his passion for music took over.

After completing his law studies, Falz practiced for nearly two years before transitioning fully into music.

He began to gain popularity around 2014 when his music career started to take off, and the law firm he worked with became a thing of the past.

Falz explained that though his legal career was short-lived, it was an important chapter of his life, one that grounded him and helped shape his approach to societal issues, which he continues to address through his music today.

Falz has since become a prominent voice in Nigeria, not only through his songs but also through his activism.

He has used his platform to speak out on various social justice issues, including police brutality and government accountability, much like his father did through the law.

Despite leaving the courtroom behind, Falz has found his way to carry on the legacy of advocating for the people.
