Popular Nigerian singer, Falz (Folarin Falana) has revealed why he quit legal practice to pursue a career in music.

Falz made the shocking revelation in an interiew recently.

He said: “There was a day in court, I announced my appearance. And the judge said: ‘Are you not the one doing something on the side?’”

“He said it codedly. At this time, people had started to know me as Femi Falana’s son. Some lawyers in court knew who I was, but others did not.”

“Imagine I am now starting to get more acclaim and I pull up in court, it would be chaos. It would distract everything.”

“A client could say they do not want me, thinking I would be busy with other things. It would have been tough for me. My face is very much out there.”

For those who don’t know, Falz studied law at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. He completed his legal training at the Nigerian Law School in Abuja. He was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2012.
