“If I greet him good morning, he’ll say it will be good if you were married. How I Deal with My Father’s Pressure to Get Married – Falz
Nigerian singer Falz, who is turning 34 this year, is feeling the pressure to marry and start a family. In a recent interview on Naija 102.7FM, the rapper discussed the expectations from his parents and shared his concerns about entering into marriage.
Falz candidly spoke about the societal and familial pressures and why he has reservations about taking the plunge into consideration. Here is his interview he had
FALZ: I am not married. I am a single man. Single to stupor. My parents now, it’s everyday. If I greet my father good morning, he would say the morning will be good if you were married. Both my mum and dad, although my mum has calmed down now. Maybe she has passed the baton to my dad. Anything small thing now na “how far na?”
Nobody fit pressure me. No one can pressure me into getting married, not even my dad [laughs]. 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.
This life that I live of being a celebrity, it’s not easy to balance it with a wife and family. And there are many things that we too have seen that are even happening publicly. That is, within industry, there are many things that happen publicly that when you look at it, you’ll feel like to have a healthy relationship and healthy career as an entertainer, it is hard. And so because of that, I just try to be careful. Nothing bad has really happened that has made me not be in relationship, I just want to be very careful.
