Nigerian pop rising star Bad Boy Timz (@badboytimz) drops off the music video for “Faya,” and it’s definitely impressive. The visual is from independent record label EMPIRE’s compilation album ‘Where We Come From (Vol. 1)’ which was released in November. The compilation album also features music from Kizz Daniel, BNXN fka Buju, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, and more. “Faya,” was a fan-favorite from the project.
The new music video for “Faya” was filmed in the heart of Lagos Island in Nigeria, and directed by Ahmed Mosh (CKay, Blaqbonez, Ruger), the music video for ‘Faya’ brings the infectious jam further to life with its vibrant colours and visual storytelling about young love, romance, and companionship. It also captures Bad Boy Timz in his artistic element as he shows off his infectious personality and captivating performance prowess. Having turned 23, Bad Boy Timz has entered his ‘Jordan Year’ in flying form with the glorious ‘Faya’, produced by Semzi (Davido, Omah Lay), setting pace with over a million plays online.
Revered for massive hits like ‘Move’, and ‘Loading’, with more recent fan-favourites like ‘Big Money’, Bad Boy Timz burst onto the scene only three years ago, with the breakthrough jam ‘Check And Balance’, which he then followed up with the TIMZ EP, his self-titled debut EP that accumulated over 10 million streams in that year. The last two years have seen the fast-rising star grow from strength to strength, including winning the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award at the Headies Award, amassing over 80 million global streams, and charting on the Billboard US Afrobeats Song Chart, among other achievements.
