Folarin Falana, popular Nigerian rapper and son of popular lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), professionally known as Falz, has spoken up about why he is still single at 33, saying he is avoiding marrying the wrong person.
He admitted that his parents, especially his father, are pressuring him, but has reiterated that he won’t let himself get pressured into such a big decision.
Falz said this during a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.
“I’m not yet married. I’m single to stupor. My dad expresses concern over my marital status daily. If I greet my dad good morning, he would say the morning will be good if you were married.
“Both my mum and dad are deeply concerned about my status, although my dad pressures me the most. My mum is a bit calm now. It seems like she has passed the baton to my dad. No one can pressure me into getting married, not even my dad [laughs],” Falz said.
The rapper stated that the last time he was in a serious relationship was during his undergraduate days.
He explained that his status as a celebrity makes finding the right woman for marriage difficult.
He said: “Currently, I’m not dating anyone. I’m a straight man. I like women. But for a while now, I haven’t experienced a serious relationship. I was still in the university the last time I had a serious relationship.
“My lifestyle as a celebrity is difficult to find someone to commit to. Also, there are a lot of happenings in the industry that make having a booming career and a healthy relationship seem difficult. So because of that, I’m trying to be careful. There’s no issue. I’m just trying to be careful.”
