NdaniTV’s web series, The Juice premiered its first episode of the season 3 on YouTube today with
rapper and actor Falz as guest star and Shola Dorcas Fapson as the
show’s new host. Here are 3 things we learnt from the interview:
Falz had a crew in secondary school
As a high school student, Falz was part of a crew known as ‘School
Boyz’. “We were young guys trying to have fun, trying to do stuff that
you really enjoy doing.” He says. “At that time, we just really enjoyed
rapping and performing for people in school”. He didn’t give any further
details on why the group disbanded, but that’s alright.
His relationship with Simi is strictly based on music
The chemistry between Falz and Simi is so great, it may send sparks
flying on the other side of the planet so logically everyone expects
them to be together. But according to Falz, they’re just great friends
who make music together. Even when Fapson prodded him some more about
the possibility of a love triangle he simply replies “I know that she
has a boyfriend, but it’s not me.”
He may have tried phone sex and thinks everyone has too
Host, Dorcas Fapson was quick to bring up the issue of phone sex, which Falz loosely mentioned on Time Difference, a song off his Stories that Touch album,
She coyly asked him if he has tried phone sex before in relation to
the long distance relationship theme of the song, to which he replied:
“Its something that everybody does.” Dorcas, clearly not satisfied with
the answer he gave, asked him again for clarity. He lumbers with his
words for a while then responds “The same way that you (Dorcas) do it, I
do it”
His only BFF may be Funke Akindele
At the close of the interview, a question is thrown at Falz prompting
him to mention one person he could call for help if he went broke in a
near future. At first, the rapper was quick to dismiss the question as a
no-brainer, adding that there is probably no one he could call for
help. However after a few minutes of silence, he casually mentions Jenifa’s Dairy co-star, Funke Akindele, describing her as the “realest” person he has probably ever met in the entertainment industry.
