  • Here’s Proof That Falz Is Basically Winning At Life

    Here’s Proof That Falz Is Basically Winning At Life

    This guy doesn’t call himself Falz the Bahd guy for nothing.

    First of all, he’s ridiculously funny.

    Secondly, he’s a good actor and is the only Nigerian rapper with an AMCVA award.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IUhG4l82V0

    He’s fine AF.

    He has made his own fashion statement with his signature sunglasses.

    As a brand ambassador, he totally slays adverts without having any chill.

    And finally, he just got nominated for the Best New International Act at the BET Awards.

    To vote for him, simply repost this photo on Instagram using #PickFALZ. Good-luck to Falz on this one and hope he brings the award home!
