Popular Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, best known as Falz, has opened up on what drove him to study law.

The rapper clarified that he never chose law because it was his father's profession, but was inspired by the good deeds that he saw his father do with the profession.

Speaking in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Falz stated that people usually revered his father's name while growing up.

He noted that the news of his father's deed gradually rubbed off on him, and that was when he made the decision to study law, though it was for a short while.

“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.”

“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."
