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.
