What Every Young Creator Needs to Know

Falz—artist, actor, lawyer, and cultural force—sits down with us for one of his most honest and vulnerable conversations yet.

From being raised in a family of legal legends to becoming a voice for Nigeria’s youth, Falz has used humor, music, and radical truth-telling to challenge power and reimagine what freedom looks like. In this episode, we go beyond the “Bad Guy” persona to explore the real man behind the bars—his sacrifices, spiritual evolution, and the emotional cost of speaking truth in a country that demands silence.

This is not just an artist interview—it’s a blueprint for courage, creativity, and community in an age of chaos.
