Renowned Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, widely recognized as Falz, has sparked discussions with his take on marriage timing, advocating against tying the knot before the age of 30.
During a candid podcast appearance, the multi-talented artist emphasized the importance of emotional intelligence, financial stability, and psychological readiness—attributes he believes often develop fully in one’s 30s.
Falz highlighted the pervasive societal pressure young adults face to rush into marriage, countering that one’s 20s should be an era of exploration, personal development, and embracing life’s adventures.
At 35, the rapper and actor urged youths to prioritize self-improvement and ignore external pressures to conform to traditional timelines.
He stressed that delaying marriage allows individuals to enter the union with greater wisdom and clarity, having established their identity and goals beforehand.
Falz elaborated that the 20s serve as a foundational decade for learning, while the 30s mark the stage where accumulated experiences crystallize into purposeful decision-making—making it the ideal period for marriage.
