What Damola said about Fireboy DML

A Nigerian music enthusiast who loves Fireboy has shared his admiration for the YBNL singer and his craft.

He said:

"The new album is genuinely one of the things I particularly love about him. Switching a niche can be difficult but he took it with grace, moving from playboy back to his lover boy persona was really great and it worked like magic. It is a great album and I kid you not, I have listened to it well over 15 times from top to finish since it dropped."
