My Father's Legacy Pushed Me To Study Law, Not Pressure – Falz (Video)

Popular Nigerian rapper and activist, Falz has spoken up on the reason he decided to study law.

Speaking about his transition to music, he dismissed claims he was forced to follow his father’s legal path

During a conversation with Chude Jideonwo on the “With Chude” podcast, Falz recalls being inspired by his father, Femi Falana SAN’s, great influence on many individuals.

This admiration led Falz to study law, aiming to replicate his father’s impact.

However, after brief stints at the Ministry of Justice and his father’s firm, Falz’s passion for music took over.

He recounts, “As a child, I felt compelled to make a name for myself due to people’s high expectations.”

Falz adds, “Hearing stories of my dad’s helpfulness and dedication motivated me to emulate him, not due to pressure, but genuine aspiration.”

He notes, “I practiced law briefly, about two years, before pursuing music full-time in 2014.”
