I Became A Lawyer To Emulate My Dad – Falz

Popular rapper, Falz has come out to say that he was not pressured to study law.

He recently had his say during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was not under any pressure to become a lawyer because of his father’s success in the field, and he only decided to go that route to help people like his dad.

Falz added that he simply aspired to emulate what his father is doing to help the Nigerian society.

His words, “I won’t say it was pressure but when I was super young, it was like, ‘These people have to be something’ because I was already getting that reaction everywhere I went. And 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. At that time it was me taking everything in, like, ‘this is something’. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured; I aspired to emulate what he was doing.

I did practice law for a short period of time. Very short, almost two years. I worked at the Ministry of Justice during my youth service, which was like 2012 or so, then in 2013 I was at my father’s firm and 2014 was when things started to pick up for me so I started going out of practice.”

WOW.
