Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, a Nigerian rapper and singer, has recently disclosed the reason behind his current single status at the age of 33.
He said, “being careful” not to marry wrongly.
During a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos, he acknowledged that his parents, particularly his father, Femi Falana, are urging him to tie the knot.
However, he asserted that he will not succumb to the pressure and rush into marriage.
He said, “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].”
The rapper stated that he hasn’t been in a committed relationship since his college days.
He attributed this to the challenges of being a celebrity and finding a suitable partner for marriage.
He clarified that he is currently not dating anyone and expressed his preference for women.
Falz 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.”
