I was about selling rechargeable lamps under Ajah Bridge before Olamide signed me – Fireboy DML

Afrobeats singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has shared that he was on the verge of becoming a petty trader, despite being a bachelor degree holder, before ace rapper and music executive Olamide signed him to YBNL Nation.

Fireboy, who signed to YBNL Nation in 2018, revealed that he made arrangements to start selling rechargeable lamps under Ajah Bridge in Lagos before he got a recording deal.

The ‘Peru' hitmaker disclosed this in a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show in London, United Kingdom.

He stated that he was already selling pepper soups at a joint but wanted to change business.

The singer said, “Thank God for that [Olamide signing me]. I was considering selling rechargeable lamps. I met one guy under Ajah Bridge, he was telling me about the business and I told him I was interested.

“To me, at the time, it was more dignified. At least, people will sell you a lamp seller but selling pepper soup is crazy, bro. My parents didn't know I was doing menial jobs. It was crazy but now, we thank God.”

He also revealed that he was signed on WhatsApp.

Fireboy DML gained popularity after his breakthrough single ‘Jealous' was featured on YBNL Nation's collaborative album, YBNL Mafia Family in 2018.

In 2019, he released his debut studio album, ‘Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps,' solidifying his stardom.
