Comedian cum singer, Falz, got more fans
than foes when he came into the entertainment industry with his unique
funny accent. In a recent chat with Saturday Beats, he revealed what made him to have such funny accent.
“Ever since I was in secondary school, I
have had this fake accent. I started with making fun of people and my
siblings but as soon as I got into the university, I began to focus on
my music and I decided to apply the brand in my music. After university,
the brand began to grow bigger so I decided to branch out and I began
to do short and funny videos. Now it puts food on my table,” he said.
A lawyer and son of activist, Femi
Falana, Falz said that he had practised his law profession and even
represented some clients in court before delving into music.
“I actively practised for about two
years after I was called to the bar in 2012. I was always going to
court. It was not easy keeping my alter ego in check but I had to. I had
to restrain myself from not being funny. Those that surrounded me at
the time knew as well that I was trying my best to be ‘sane’ because it
would have been catastrophic if I had allowed my alter ego to take over.
I had to control everything from within.
Falz doesn’t see himself taking over his father’s popular chambers.
“I cannot take over my father’s law
chambers because it is a law firm and not a family business. There are
so many lawyers there that are capable of continuing the legacy; so it
is not something that I necessarily have to do,” he said.
