There was news on the media in recent time about Falz’s mother expressing a heavy heart over the fact that Falz doesn’t go to church anymore. At the album listening party of Falz’s latest project; Moral Instruction, Falz’s mother, Mrs Funmi Falana said; “Folarin, you don`t go to church and I am bothered. I hope you would start going to church this year.”
Falz has however cleared the air on his mother’s claim and also given a reason he doesn’t go to church anymore. He said to Saturday Beats,
“I have nothing against the church or going to church; everyone has the right to practise the religion they desire but personally, as a Christian, it has been a while that I have been to church. It does not make me less of a Christian.
The most important thing is spirituality and your personal connection with God. The reason I haven`t attended a church service in a long while is because I went to a few churches and during sermons, I was put under undue pressure. There was a time that a pastor called me to the altar just to acknowledge my presence for being in church.
In my mind, I felt that the service was not about me. I felt that everybody was there to worship God, yet they were putting undue pressure on me. The pastor gave me the microphone to address the congregation and I was puzzled; what did he expect me to say to the congregation? These are some of the issues. I just want to go to church and worship God like a regular member of the congregation. I do not want that kind of attention. I was hoping that I would go to church on a Sunday and it would not be like any other day I`m at a public place or doing a show”.
