Nigerian singer Adedamola Adefolayan, better known by his stage name Fireboy DML, has described how, despite working in a controversial entertainment industry, he has managed to keep his career mostly scandal-free.

In a recent conversation with fans, the “Peru” hitmaker discussed his private life and public persona, disclosing that he purposefully keeps personal affairs private.

Fireboy claims that keeping his private life private has helped him avoid needless drama and misunderstandings.

Fireboy DML shares his strategy for becoming famous.
The singer claimed that people don’t know much about him outside of his music because he chose to maintain a low profile.

“They don’t know me enough to misunderstand me. I don’t give them enough personality or insight into my personal life,” he said.

Additionally, Fireboy revealed that he avoids relationships or interactions with other artists that might cause controversy.

He stated that his music and artistic development continue to be more important to him than publicity gimmicks or stunts.

Fireboy added, “I don’t have scandals, I don’t relate with other artistes, I don’t sell my music with gimmicks.”

His remarks demonstrate the singer’s desire to keep his music at the core of his public persona.

Fireboy seems to have built his career around his songs and a relatively private personal life rather than seeking attention through contentious incidents.

The singer has kept information about his private life mostly out of the public eye while continuing to release music and maintain a significant presence in the Nigerian music scene.
