Members of the group include brothers Muiz and Malik Sanni, and their cousin Fawas Aina, who are all under the age of 16.
They’re managed by Muiz and Malik’s 23-year-old brother, Babatunde, who also directs and edits the films.
When your parents said ‘go outside and play’, did you get as creative as this?
