Folarin Falana, the famous Nigerian rapper, who is also known as Falz has emphasized the significance of self-care in maintaining happiness and overall well-being.

In a recent interview on Osas Ighodaro’s Spa with Osas show, Falz highlighted his approach to self-care, stressing the importance of indulging in activities that bring joy and peace.

“I think self-care comes in a lot of different dimensions, so it’s caring for your mind, caring for your body, and caring for your spirit,” he said.

Falz defined self-care as caring for one’s mind, body, and spirit, and shared his personal approach: “For me, I would say that I try to soak myself in things that give me pleasure and put me at peace. Things that inspire me and keep me happy, you want to stay in a happy place; you don’t want to feel unhappy or like something is missing.”

The rapper also acknowledged the challenges of ageing and encouraged Nigerians to prioritise their physical health.

“The last couple of years have taken a toll; it’s just life. By the time you cross 30, you start to observe things about your body. It may be your stomach today, then your ear or knees, so you have to pay attention to your body”, he said.

He stressed the importance of rest and sleep, stating, “If you don’t rest, you will collapse… Rest is very important, and so is sleep. You can’t cheat nature; and if you’re not well rested, you can’t function. Rest is very important and so is sleep,” he explained.
