Nigerian rapper, actor, and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the Bahd Guy, has sparked laughter and conversation online after being unexpectedly named by Grok, X’s AI chatbot, as a likely future President of Nigeria.
The unexpected buzz began when a curious social media user, @DATcrayboi, posed a question to Grok: “Which popular Nigerian influencer stands the best chance of becoming president in the future?” — and the AI didn’t hesitate to name Falz.
According to Grok, Falz’s outspoken political activism, strong youth following, and consistent social advocacy could position him as a serious presidential contender, even suggesting he might throw his hat in the ring by 2027, although the rapper has made no such political declaration.
Falz, known for blending satire with serious social commentary, reacted in typically humorous fashion. Sharing the AI’s prediction on his timeline, he joked in Yoruba:
“Grok wan put me for wahala o.”
His light-hearted take quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans and followers. While many found the idea amusing, others were quick to point out that Falz’s consistent efforts in championing youth voices, police reform, and accountability in governance make the prediction less far-fetched than it might seem.
Interestingly, Falz commented while discussing his new music project, The Feast, during a promotional interview with Pulse Nigeria—effortlessly blending civic engagement with entertainment as he’s often known to do.
As the AI-generated prediction continues to generate lively debate, one thing is clear: whether in music, activism or now imaginary politics, Falz keeps finding new ways to stay in the conversation.
