Falz, real name Folarin Babalola, will star as William Randolph Church, an alluring Nigerian billionaire.
The popular rapper and comic actor has inked a multi-season deal with BLK PRIME to play a Nigerian billionaire in a drama series called ‘Church’.
BLK PRIME is an American entertainment corporation funded by the Silicon Valley EFC Investment Group.
“I am so excited to introduce my character, Church, to audiences around the world and to be a part of BLK PRIME’s mission of offering diverse streaming entertainment worldwide,” the Nigerian rapper said.
Scott Scherer, Senior vice-president BLK PRIME, said Falz will, in the series, take on the role of a character that’s nothing close to his past efforts.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Falz. With millions of fans around the world and nearly 3 million Instagram followers, Falz has proven to be a gifted performer with the ability to captivate an audience,” he said.
“Church is a complex character that will showcase Falz in a way audiences have never seen him before,”
The show will premiere on BLK PRIME worldwide before the end of June 2018.
In time past, Falz has starred in TV series like Jenifa’s Diaries which was instrumental to him clinching “Best Actor in a Comedy” award at the 2016 edition of AMVCA
