Nigerian rapper and singer, Folarin Falana, aka Falz called his experience dealing with his knee injury “a very difficult time.”
Recall that on May 2, 2023, Falz underwent knee surgery at a hospital in London, United Kingdom.
Falz stated that he underwent surgery after tearing his ACL while playing football on the Tacha-hosted The Big Friday Show on Cool FM Nigeria.
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.”
