I’d love to be a footballer – Falz

Singer cum actor, Falz, is definitely in his element this year as he has added another feather to his cap by bagging the prestigious African Movie Viewer’s Choice Award in just a brief stint with acting. He won in the category for the Best Act in a comedy, movie or TV series for his role in Jenifa’s Dairy.

The rapper who is also a comic character told Saturday Beats that another talent he has which many people are unaware of is his football skills, adding that if he was not an entertainer, he would be a professional footballer by now.

Falz said that he could still pursue his dreams in football as ‘age’ is still on his side.

“Well, apart from music and law, if there’s something I want to do professionally, it is to play football. I like sports so much especially football. I believe so much in my skills as well and I think I am capable of playing professionally; the problem is that Super Eagles was supposed to sign me but they missed their chance. They missed their opportunity but it’s so unfortunate for them.” he said.

Also known as the BAHD guy, an acronym that stands for Brilliant And Highly Distinct, the humour merchant gave Saturday Beats a sneak peek into his private life. For the ladies who have been drooling over the young man and fantasizing about being the queen of his heart, the position is currently vacant as he said that he is not in a relationship.

“In terms of relationship matter, I want to keep that one aside for now because relationship can be a source of distraction. When somebody loves a woman so much, he may abandon his work and I don’t want that to be the story of my life. So when it comes to relationships, I am still single and I don’t currently have anybody. That does not mean that I am not searching or I am not ready to mingle with single ladies. We can still mingle and have some fun together; who knows somebody may just capture my heart. So I may be over here saying I’m not searching, and somebody may be out there planning to win my heart and by the time they capture me, I will become love struck. What can I do when it happens?” he queried.

When asked to describe his ideal woman, here is what the Celebrity Girlfriend crooner had to say, “To be completely honest, I am not too keen when it comes to the lady’s physique but I like someone who is very intelligent and has a wonderful sense of humour. These are the things I really look out for in a woman. But in terms of preference generally, I think I like the light-skinned girls but this doesn’t mean that there is no hope for dark-skinned girls and it doesn’t mean that you should go and bleach.”
