“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.

Ycee Questions the ‘Satire’ Behind Trending Akara Videos
Nigerian singer Ycee reacts to the viral and trending akara skits that emerged after the advice given by the First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu.
It can be recalled that the First Lady shared that Nigerians can fight unemployment by going into the akara or corn business to sustain themselves in the current economy.
Following her comments, content creator Gilmore made a skit about selling akara, to which Ycee reacted “To all of you yelling ‘satire.'”
“The entire idea of satire as a literary device is to use humor, be entertaining, while also criticizing and exposing the issue at the base of the content. Portraying ‘akara selling’ as a lucrative business where you’re taking payment in Solana and ETH, patronizing Polanco and shopping at HF, etc… where is the said ‘satire’ that you all are screaming?”
