“Lawyer by Day, Rapper by Night” – Falz Reflects on His Double Life
Nigerian singer and rapper Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz, has opened up about his unique journey from practicing law to pursuing music.
During a conversation on the Madam Joyce podcast, Falz shared how he juggled the demanding roles of being a lawyer during the day and a rapper by night.
Reflecting on that phase of his life, Falz admitted it was a challenging balancing act, as both careers required immense dedication.
He also touched on the legal profession’s unwritten rules, which discourage lawyers from engaging in other activities while practicing law.
This posed an additional hurdle for him as he navigated his dual passions.
Falz shared an amusing yet telling experience from his courtroom days.
“There was a time I was living this double life,” he said. “I’d go to court during the day as a lawyer and then perform or make music at night.”
He recounted a particular moment when his two worlds collided.
“I announced my appearance in court, saying, ‘With profound respect, my lord, the name is Folarin Falana, appearing for the plaintiff.’
The judge lowered his glasses and asked, ‘Counsel, are you not the one doing something else on the side?’”
This moment highlighted the tension between his burgeoning music career and the expectations of the legal profession.
Falz explained that within the legal community, there’s an unspoken expectation for lawyers to devote themselves solely to their practice.
“There’s a professional code of conduct in law that frowns upon engaging in other activities, and I was very aware of that,” he added.

It can be recalled that the reality star became popular after showing on the dating reality show Love Island where he came in for 3 seasons but really made an impact in his second appearance, season 6.

The singer revealed this during a TikTok live session where she spoke on her personal difficulties and situation in her life.
“Right now, I have no car, and I owe a lot of people. The last time I had a car was in 2020. I need to pay my debts. I struggle to pay for the hotel I stay at now. I need shelter and a car, even if it is a jalopy. The money I am supposed to use for food, I use it to take Uber around.”
