WHY MY SON CONSISTENTLY EMBARRASSES THE GOVERNMENT: FEMI FALANA, THE FATHER OF FALZ
Falana revealed this on Sunday while speaking at the Odumakin Oluyinka Lecture's second anniversary in Lagos. He said Falz's behavior was a result of the experiences he had as a child.
He claimed that his kid, who believed him to be a criminal, was always concerned by his repeated arrests as a lawyer.
"One of these guys one day said, 'Femi talk to your son; he should stop embarrassing the government. I said which government?, Do you mean that boy who is an adult? Can I give you his number so you can talk to him?. But he was careful because when he was growing up. I was being arrested from time to time. So, the only language he understood was arrest, detention and the rest of them.
"When Falz was six, he asked his mother, "Our teacher taught us that only criminals were arrested. Is my dad a criminal? Why is he always being arrested? And the mother had to tell him that in Nigeria, under the military, only two sets of people were arrested. Political suspects and criminal suspects. Political suspects are those who expose the criminality of the government. That is what you see going on."
This occurs only days after Falz and Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, also known as Vector, stated their opinions on the conduct and results of the 2023 elections in their most recent song, "Yakubu," which is named after the INEC chairman.
