A Nigerian rapper and singer, Folarin Falana, well known as Falz, has recently explained the reason why he’s still single at the age of 33.
He mentioned that he is “being careful” to avoid making a wrong choice in marriage.
Falz accepted that his folks, mainly his dad, Femi Faland, were pressuring him to settle down, but he emphasized that he wouldn’t succumb to the pressure to get married.
The artist known for the song ” Marry Me” discussed his views in a recent interview on Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.
The ‘Marry Me’ crooner spoke during a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.
Falz 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 singer mentioned that the most recent time he was in a committed relationship was back in his university days.
He clarified that being a celebrity makes it hard for him to find the right woman to marry
He 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.”
