It’s another episode of Blackbox interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and this time it is with the one and only Falz the Bahd Guy where he talked about everything.

Kicking off the interview, Falz talked about the year 2020 and how difficult it has been for artistes considering shows are their major stream of income and with COVID-19, that stream of income was “violently” stopped.

He went further to speak of the after-effects of 2020 and if a year such as this one makes an artiste question their profession. Falz stated that the reality of every artiste at every point in time is to question the profession they’re in because it is a profession based mostly not on the artiste, but on his fanbase. He said;

If anybody is an artiste and he tells you he doesn’t worry about this work we’re doing, he’s telling you lies. It is worrisome.

After his rendition of ‘Oluwa Lo Ni’… Read the rest
