The images, posted to his official Instagram account late Thursday night, showed Falz dressed in a crisp blue Agbada, holding a woman dressed elegantly in Hausa-themed attire.

The pictures were shot with a sombre cinematic, almost dreamlike feel, leaving fans stunned and full of questions.

In the caption, Falz wrote:

“It’s been a long time coming, and having to do this with you is one of the best decisions of my life. ❤️ 👩🏾‍❤️‍👨🏾. First of all, introduction…”

Also, in a previous report, Falz made it clear that he has no interest in becoming a politician, no matter how much the public urges him to join the race.

The award-winning artiste, whose real name is Folarin Falana, made this revelation during a sit-down with Pulse Nigeria to promote his latest project, “The Feast."

“Politics, ke? No, it’s a big no. What’s my business with politics. I can never become a politician. I don’t think I’d ever be able to be one because being one requires some traits that I don’t possess—a lot of negative traits. Even some ‘normal’ traits, like being patient and always being ‘on,’ I can’t do it.”

Falz laments Nigeria's struggles

Legit.ng earlier reported that Falz the Bahd aired his grievances about the country in another interview with Hip TV.

In a video that was posted on Hip TV’s official Instagram page and spotted by Legit.ng, the No Less crooner complained about how electricity is still a major issue plaguing Nigerians in 2025.

According to Falz, it was still strange that people should ‘Up Nepa’ in 2025. He went on to speak about how rainfall can also disrupt many things.
