Funmi Falana,
She made this known at the listening party for the 28-year-old’s fourth studio album, Moral Instruction, on Monday.
Mrs Falana said, “Folarin, you don’t go to church and I am bothered. I hope you would start going to church this year.”
Falz confirmed his mother’s statement in a chat with journalists.
“It has been a while that I have been to church. It does not make me less of a Christian.
“The most important thing is spirituality and your personal connection with God.
“The reason I haven’t attended a church service in a long while is because I went to a few churches and during sermons, I was put under undue pressure.
“There was a time that a pastor called me to the altar just to acknowledge my presence for being in church.
“In my mind, I felt that the service was not about me. I felt that everybody was there to worship God, yet they were putting undue pressure on me.
“The pastor gave me the microphone to address the congregation and I was puzzled; what did he expect me to say to the congregation? These are some of the issues.
“I just want to go to church and worship God like a regular member of the congregation.
“I do not want that kind of attention. I was hoping that I would go to church on a Sunday and it would not be like any other day I’m at a public place or doing a show,” Falz said.
