Falz, the multi-talented artist and activist, shares an intimate and real conversation on this week’s episode of #WithChude.
He opens up like never before, reflecting on his rise as an iconic voice in Nigerian entertainment and his pivotal role in the historic fight for justice during the End SARS movement.
From being inspired by his father, the renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana, to becoming a force in the music, film, and social justice landscape, Falz unpacks the journey that led him to challenge the Nigerian government and simultaneously excel in his music career.
He recalls his breakthrough moment when Funke Akindele, one of Nigeria’s hardest-working entertainers, invited him to join her project even before the hit series Jenifa’s Diary existed—a pivotal moment that propelled him into the spotlight. Falz credits her, and others, for inspiring him as he pursued his craft.
Reflecting on the End SARS protests, Falz describes the heartbreak he experienced while watching DJ Switch’s Instagram Live during the Lekki tollgate massacre.
With raw emotion, he shares how he was moved to tears for the first time in many years, overwhelmed by a mix of rage, guilt, and sorrow.
