The Story⚡
Folarin Falana is set to debut in his first lead feature at the NGN Box Office this weekend, 13th of December 2020. 
Tell Me More
Popularly known as Falz the bahd guy, Folarin Falana plays the lead character Quam Omole, a security guard who becomes a multi-millionaire overnight and is scammed off of N500 million in what he thinks is a
business deal.
The movie follows the shenanigans Quam gets up (with a few friends) as he tries everything to get his money back.
The Making of Quam’s Money
Quam’s money is the sequel to New money released in 2018 both written by Naz Onuzo.
Hotshot director Kayode Kasum was signed on to direct the feature film with principal photography completed after the coronavirus lockdown.
The sequel features Nollywood actors Nse Ikpe-Etim, Williams Uchemba, Toni Tones, Michelle Dede, Karibi Fubara, and Buchi Ojieh.
With Jemima Osunde and Blossom Chukwujekwu also reprising their roles from the first movie New Money.
From Music to Movies
Falz is regarded as one of the most astute music entertainer with his distinct blend of comic lyrics combined with contemporary hip hop in a faux of Yoruba accent.
It is quite fascinating to see how his faux persona is being utilized to sing songs, sell out shows and build a desirable audience in the domestic market that is very hard to break into.
His first popular comic role got off the ground as Segun in Funke Akindele‘s “Jenifa’s Diary” television series which was well received.
This same comic persona has scaled starting from music and now through movies not showing any signs that its appeal is slowing down.
So far Falz has featured in Jenifa’s Diary, Tinsel, Couple of Days, 10 Days in Sun City, Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons, New Money, Chief Daddy and now in his very first lead role – Quam’s Money.
Fun Fact
The “Bahd guy” alias in which falz uses actually has a meaning – Brilliant and Highly Distinct.
Yea, i know. Super cool.

NGN Box Office
In case you don’t know, Morale at the box office is super low at the moment.
Cinemas are finding it difficult to get movie goers to buy tickets and are counting on movies like Quam’s Money to bring customers.
