Nigerian rapper and singer, Folarin Falana, known by his stage name Falz The Bahdguy, has characterized his experience with a knee injury as "an incredibly challenging period."

In a flashback, it can be recalled that on May 2, 2023, Falz underwent a knee surgery at a medical establishment in London, United Kingdom.

During an appearance on Cool FM Nigeria's show, The Big Friday Show, which is hosted by reality star Tacha, Falz explained that he opted for the surgery due to an ACL injury sustained while participating in a football game.

He said, “It was a very difficult time for me. I had ACL reconstruction surgery. Your ACL is like a ligament that holds your knee together. What actually happened is that that ligament torn totally. So the knee kind of scattered.

“It was an actual football injury. I was just running and the thing just comot like that. I don’t know how it happened because I have been playing football since I was a child. And everything was going smoothly. Maybe on that fateful day, I didn’t stretch well.

“But it always happen. It’s a slightly common injury for athletes. I’m glad I’m back. I’m up and running now. It’s a one-time surgery. Now I’m in rehab doing physiotherapy. Just exercising and trying to build the muscle back to 100 per cent.”
