Speaking in the video, Falz said he was playing football in November 2022 when he sustained the knee injury, adding that the surgery was conducted at a hospital in London on May 2, 2023.

The rapper said: “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 injury.

“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 Imagine) 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.

“About 1.5 hrs later. ACL reconstruction done under local + general aesthetic,” Falz revealed.
