In an interview with Naija 102.7 FM in Lagos, the ‘Marry Me’ crooner revealed that his parents, notably his father, renowned lawyer Femi Falana, frequently voice concerns about his marital status, but he refuses to give in to pressure.
“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],” Falz said.
