His jail term, however, shattered whatever that was left of the sloppy career.
On Sunday, March 25, 2018, a video surfaced on Instagram, captioned "My bro is back!! SINZU".
In the video, the rapper, clad in a black T-shirt, durag, and a red pant was seen being welcomed home.
Falemi came on the Nigerian music scene in 2005, with an impressive jam, his first ever single 'Omoge' featuring the legendary Mike Okri.
