Nigerian rapper, songwriter, and actor Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has addressed recent speculations about his marital status, clarifying that he is not secretly married.
The rumours began after the award-winning entertainer shared a series of traditional wedding-themed photos online, which immediately sparked excitement among fans who believed they were taken at a real ceremony.
The images went viral across social media platforms, with many speculating that Falz had tied the knot in a private event.
However, the rapper has since set the record straight, revealing that the widely circulated photos were part of a creative photoshoot project and not evidence of an actual wedding.
Reacting to the buzz on his Instagram page, Falz jokingly noted that the frenzy might make it difficult for people to believe him if he eventually decides to get married in the future.
“When everybody realized I wasn’t really married, people kept saying it’s a case of the boy who cried wolf. Maybe when I do get married nobody will care,” he quipped.

Beyond the humour, Falz stressed the importance of privacy in personal matters, insisting that he is under no obligation to share every milestone with the public. While he acknowledged that his fans often show genuine interest in his personal life, he maintained that some aspects of his journey, such as marriage, may remain private.
“It is bold of you to actually assume that if I’m actually getting married, I will share it,” he stated.
The rapper further explained that although he prefers to keep certain details of his life away from the spotlight, he has not completely ruled out the possibility of sharing his marriage publicly, depending on how love and circumstances influence him at the time.
Falz’s comments highlight a growing conversation among Nigerian celebrities about the balance between public life and personal privacy, particularly in an era where social media has blurred the lines between the two.
Known for his satirical lyrics, versatile artistry, and outspoken social activism, Falz has built a career that often intersects entertainment with social commentary. His latest remarks underscore his commitment to controlling his narrative while navigating fame.
For now, the rapper has made it clear: when it comes to marriage, fans may have to wait and perhaps be ready for a surprise.
