Falz Reflects on Balancing Life as a Lawyer and Rapper

Falz, whose full name is Folarin Falana, admitted that managing both careers was challenging, particularly due to the legal profession’s unspoken rule discouraging lawyers from engaging in non-legal activities.

“There was a time I was in court, living a double life at the time—lawyer by day, rapper by night,” he recalled. “When I announced my appearance, I said, ‘With profound respect my lord, the name is Folarin Falana, appearing for the plaintiff.’ The judge lowered his glasses and said, ‘Counsel, are you not the one doing something else on the side?’”

Falz noted the tension this created within the legal profession, where strict codes of conduct often limit practitioners from pursuing other interests.
