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.

Comedian Emeke Erem, popularly known as Ajebo, has called on Nigerian artists to prioritize building world-class concert arenas over purchasing luxury cars in 2025.

Ajebo highlighted the need for 20,000-50,000 capacity arenas in Nigeria, which he believes could yield 100 times the return on investment.

He pointed out that while Nigerian artists perform in grand arenas abroad, they are often forced to use hotel halls for local concerts due to the lack of standard venues in the country.
