Rapper Falz [/b]recounted a harrowing experience during an interview with “Untapped,” revealing a traumatic incident that almost claimed his life and those of his friends at the hands of armed robbers. The terrifying event unfolded on November 16, 2013, on an Abuja highway, resulting in the tragic death of their driver.
Falz shared the chilling details of the incident, recalling how he and his friends, en route to an Abuja wedding where he was scheduled to perform, were suddenly ambushed by armed men. The rapper vividly described the moment when they began saying their final prayers, gripped by the fear that they might not survive the ordeal.
The incident occurred as they were heading to a high-profile wedding in the North, for which Falz was reportedly paid a million dollars to perform. Originally planning to travel by plane, they opted for a road trip due to ticketing issues. However, one friend expressed concerns about taking the road, prompting a prayer session led by the rapper himself before dismissing any worries since it was daytime.
As they drove, a sudden loud bang startled them awake. They found a man with an AK47 in the middle of the road, having fired three shots at their car. The third shot tragically struck their driver in the eye. Describing the chaotic scene, Falz said, “We see this turban tying, AK47 wielding, dangerous-looking men in the middle of the expressway, maybe like 5, we could not count; they were directly shooting at our car. Everything was happening within seconds, so fast from the first bullet coming to us waking up, the second bullet coming to us taking cover, to the third one that hit the driver in the eye.”
The rapper's vivid account sheds light on the intensity of the life-threatening situation they faced, emphasizing the sudden and traumatic nature of the attack. To provide further context, Falz also shared a YouTube video clip from the interview, allowing viewers to hear the chilling narrative in his own words.
