Fireboy DML, the famous Afrobeats star, recently shared his humorous response to a viral social media post that sparked buzz among fans.

The post, shared by a top fan, featured a photo of a man who looks like the popular musician tying the knot with a Caucasian woman at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry in Lagos.

In the original post, the fan humorously remarked, “Aje na fire boy,” suggesting that the person in the photo was the singer.

Fireboy DML quickly responded in kind, playfully clarifying, “Aje no be me seh!” with a laughing emoji, adding to the light-hearted nature of the conversation.

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Adedamola Oyinlola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy has spoken about the feud in the music industry.

In an interview on City FM, he emphasized that disagreements are natural since artists are human.

“Everyone should just focus on what concerns them. Let artists be artists, fans be fans, and the media keep telling the stories,” Fireboy said.

Speaking about recent conflicts, including the one between Wizkid and Davido, Fireboy remarked, “Beef is just part of life. We are all human.”

He also expressed his preference for staying away from such drama.

Fireboy discussed his latest album, ‘Adedamola,’ which includes collaborations with Lagbaja, Jon Baptiste, Seun Kuti, and Spinall.

He mentioned that the idea to work with Lagbaja and Seun Kuti came from Olamide, the leader of YBNL and executive producer of the album.

Disputes among Nigerian artists are not uncommon, with past feuds between acts like Ruger and BNXN, who later reconciled and released a joint EP titled ‘RnB.’

However, tensions between artists like Davido and Burna Boy, and more recently Wizkid and Davido, remain unresolved.

Popular Nigerian singer and song-writer, Fireboy DML has acquired a new 2022 Mercedes-Benz S580.

The ‘Obaa Sima’ crooner was seen in a viral video with the new car on the X platform celebrating his latest purchase.

Fireboy DML, the popular Nigerian singer, has reiterated that his style of music is not Afrobeats.

He, however, said his “roots and identity” are always in his music.

The ‘Peru’ crooner featured as a guest in the latest episode of Amazon Music podcast, ‘B And N.’

He said, “As I always said, I don’t make Afrobeats. I just sort of like combined stuffs. I do different kinds of music so even when I am making R&B or pop, you can hear the Yoruba ‘h’ factor.

“You just know that this is not an American or British person, so you can always tell that my roots and my identity is always in my music.”

Fireboy said Nigerian artists need to take advantage of their newfound global recognition and build a structure for their home music industry.

“One thing I want to take about is we are here [Western world] now. Afrobeats is here now. So what is the way forward? What next?

“I personally think this Afrobeats to the world thing shouldn’t be given more attention. I mean, we are already here. even before the Grammy [created an African category], we’ve already been recognised. We’ve achieved so much. So we need to build a structure. And more concerned about the future of the genre; the sustainability,” he said.
