Sudanese-born Melbourne-based rapper Bangs, also known as Ajak Chol, rap about ladies who like to go to the movies landed in the hands of Jimmy Fallon, who mocked him. The rapper's "Take U to Da Movies" in 2008 went viral when the song was viewed on YouTube more than 400,000 times.
Fallon included Bangs' track in his segment "Do Not Play These Songs", which highlights songs to be avoided, Dispatch Times reported. "This next one is by a singer called Bangs... he doesn't even have any bangs," said the comedian on July 16 broadcast of "The Tonight Show".
The song played only a few seconds before he and his house band The Roots broke down in laughter. He joked about the rapper saying that he was real person named Bangs.
Meanwhile, Bangs did not take offense on Fallon's dissing of his song. He shared the Fallon video with his 22,000 Facebook fans on July 17.
"Still got love 4 u [sic] The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," he wrote alongside the video shared by Fallon. Besides, Bangs also took to twitter and said that he knew the comedian made fun of him, but he didn't mind since he got attention, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The official video clip for the single shows Bangs in the backdrop of a rainforest, a New York City skyline and stacks of Australian banknotes. The rapper became famous when he was interviewed on Eminem's radio station in 2009.
He was also invited to play at the Big Day Out music festival and recorded a television commercial for Honda. His "Meet Me on Facebook" which also became popular is a single about trying to add a good-looking girl on the social media.
