Popular Nigerian rapper and entertainer, Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, stirred up a buzz online on Saturday after revealing some surprising food preferences and dishing out a strong opinion about a beloved Nigerian staple.
Taking to his X handle, Falz dropped a playful yet firm relationship deal breaker, writing:
“Not liking plantain is serious grounds for break up.”
The witty rapper, who is known for blending humor with serious messages, made it clear that any potential partner must share his deep love for plantain. His lighthearted comment quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with many agreeing that plantain deserves its spot on the “relationship essentials” list.
In another post, Falz went further to reveal the one meal he could never get tired of eating.
“One meal I can eat everyday for the rest of my life – boiled yam and fried eggs,” he wrote.
Simple, classic, and deeply Nigerian, his favorite meal choice resonated with a lot of fans who applauded his good taste.
However, Falz didn’t stop at just sharing his favorites. He threw shade at semo (semovita), a popular Nigerian swallow meal, advising fans against it in a manner only Falz could pull off: “I wouldn’t advise eating semo in the morning…or any time of the day in fact. It shouldn’t be food.”
This bold statement sparked instant reactions, with some fans clapping back in defense of semo, insisting it remains a cherished part of Nigerian cuisine.
Regardless of the debate, Falz’s candid opinions once again reminded everyone why he’s not just a rap star, but also a master at keeping conversations lively both on and off the mic.
