In a moving Instagram post shared on June 1, 2026, Faila revealed that she put aside all ongoing commitments in Accra and flew back to her home base of Tamale after receiving an exclusive call from Fancy Gadam’s management.

Her mission: to cater for Nigerian music legend King Rudy (Rudeboy of P-Square), his team, and the 5M crew during the massive Rudeboy X Fancy Gadam concert at the Tamale Sports Stadium.

Reflecting on a strict childhood where music was her only companion in isolation, Faila expressed absolute gratitude for the opportunity to serve a legend whose songs shaped her upbringing.

The Instagram post below has the video showing the Nigerian music star Rudeboy deciding which of Chef Faila's dishes he should pick.
