I Am Not Ready To Show My Birth Certificate - Falz

Nigerian rapper, Folarinde Falana, popularly known as Falz, celebrated his 27th birthday last week and he released a music album, 27, to mark the day.

However, there was a lot of uproar on social media, with many arguing that Falz ‘faked’ his age. Many believe that he is older than the 27 years which he claimed. At the height of the Internet uproar, Falz told doubting Thomases that he would show them his birth certificate to prove his real age.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop about the declaration Falz said;
“I just said it as a joke. I have not taken my birth certificate anywhere or shown anybody. I don’t know why people think I’m lying about my age. All I know is that I’m doing well and I’m happy with my life.”

On releasing his album without prior notice;
 “I worked on the album for about a year, and when the time was right, I released it. The response has been very good. People love it and I’m very excited about that.”

On what he looks out for in a woman;
 “I like someone who is intelligent and highly cerebral. We need to be compatible and she being pretty wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

On marriage plans;
 “I don’t have plans for getting married right now. I’ll let it come naturally; whenever God says it’s the right time.”
