Folarin Falana a.k.a Falz tha bahd guy is no doubt one of the sought after rappers in this part of the world. One thing he has going well for him is that people can easily connect to his music. Perhaps, he might not have gotten this far without the support of his parents. Unknown to many, Falz is the son of popular Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana.
In a recent interview, the BET winning entertainer alludes to parental support as one of the reasons for his success. Hear him:” Parental approval helped me achieve my true passion. My mum is the disciplinarian. It was much easier for my dad to understand my career because he was once Fela’s lawyer.
When asked if an entertainer in the diaspora can succeed without necessarily coming back home, he said:” At the end of the day, the world is now smaller and the internet is has made the world smaller. There are lots of artistes that are huge and they are not even based in Nigeria. But it’s good to be able to connect directly with the fans. Maybe make trips often, but you can do your thing ”
