In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Falz disclosed that his inspiration stemmed from observing the individuals his father championed during his upbringing.
“I won’t say it was pressure but when I was super young, I was already getting that reaction everywhere I went if I ever mentioned my name, people would be like, ‘Which Falana? Is it Femi Falana? Oh wow.
“Everyone sort of had a story about how my dad came to their aid at some point in time and how he fought for them and was there for them. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured. I aspired to emulate what my father was doing.”
He indicated that his father’s career had a profound and enduring impact on him, leading him to pursue a legal education. However, despite his decision to study law, he ultimately practiced for a relatively brief period.
“I did practice law for a very short period of almost two years. I started going out of practice in 2014 when things started to pick up for me.”
