Mrs. Funmi Falana, the mother of rapper, Falz, has expressed concern over her son’s refusal to go to church.

She made this known at the listening party for the 28-year-old’s fourth studio album, Moral Instruction, earlier this week.

Mrs. Falana said, “Folarin, you don’t go to church and I am bothered. I hope you would start going to church this year.”

Falz confirmed his mother’s statement in a chat with journalists.

“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,” Falz said.
