Nigerian singer and
actor, Falz, has disclosed why he decided to opt out of Funke Akindele’s
soap opera, Jenifa’s Diary.
The singer who spoke at an
interview with Inkblot’s Meet & Greet said the schedule and timing of
shooting are no longer in agreement with his personal schedule.
Falz who took the role of Sege
happens to be one of the major characters of the series.
He said: “If I could be on the
show every single episode, I would but it’s just schedule, timing, shooting,
ah!
“People genuinely root for
them (Jenifa and Sege). And there was a time that she had a bit of confusion in
her life as per which guy she should pick and everybody was like Sege!
“Funke can build herself
around characters that she’s working with and I have to say she’s one of the
most, if not the most hardworking person I have come across in this
entertainment industry. This woman, as we’re on set, she’s writing the next
episode, she’s directing”, Falz said.
The singer further revealed
his love for filmmaking, expressing that he plans to make more films.
“I love filmmaking, that’s
what I’ve come to realize. I really love the process of taking an idea and
bringing it to life in the form of film. I really love that. So I think I’m
definitely going to do a lot more. I don’t know the specifics. I can’t say for
sure that I will go into directing.
“I’m already a filmmaker with
House 21. We’re creating films, we’re creating different other types of
content. Now writing I think I probably would get into it. That’s for sure.
Ideas come to me already and with music, I already write music and it’s not the
same, but having that kind of background, I think I’ll be able to write. But
directing, you never know.”
