Nigerian Artiste Falz Undergoes Knee Surgery

Nigerian musician Falz (born Folarin Falana) has had a knee surgery on May 2, 2023 in London, UK.

Falz who made the announcement on his Instagram handle recently, said he sustained the injury whilst playing football in November 2022, but had a knee surgery on May 2, at a hospital in London. He called on Nigerians and fans to offer a prayer for him.

The post showed the actor first out of surgery in a hospital bed, and video of himself three days post the injury, and his consultation visits to the hospital.

He wrote, “Current situation, it’s a whole journey to being 100% back. Say a prayer for me. Today is the 26th of November 2022. I am walking with a little bit of a limb. Few days ago, on the 23rd, I went to play football and I sustained a knee surgery,” he said in the video.

“This is November 30, 2022. About a week since I tore my ACL. To be honest I didn’t know what the hell happened on the day. I just knew it felt really painful. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) result came back and it showed that it is a complete tear on my ACL. I have been advised to go into surgery to fix it.
