Falz
Is there anything Falz cannot do? He asked himself on a song with Davido and Olamide. Which other musician do you know that won an AMVCA? Falz’s character as Sege in Jenifa’s Diary was unforgettable. Surely fans would be looking forward to seeing him again in a movie…
Banky W
Fans didn’t know it at the time but Banky’s life was imitating art when he played the lead character in The Wedding Party. The movie was so great that they got paid twice- and then did a sequel. Obviously, he’s been taking a few lessons from Mrs W.
