'I'm single,' Nigerian singer Fireboy DML says as he jets into Kenya

Nigerian singer Fireboy DML has now revealed that he is single, stating that relationship status does not really matter when one is a celebrity.

On whether he is currently in the market for new love, the musician who is presently riding the coattails of his global success, said it is debatable.

He will be performing for the first time in Kenya on Saturday, April 9, at the Ngong Racecourse, alongside others namely; Sol Generation stars Nviiri the Storyteller and Bensoul.

During a press briefing at the Sankara Hotel on Friday, the Nigerian star who claims to be a fan of Sauti Sol, with whom he hopes to put out a joint banger in the near future, asked his Kenyan fans to turn up in droves, for a night like no other.

He also hinted at the possibility of a collabo with Nviiri the Storyteller, whom he reached out to a year ago and whose music he loves.

The artist is part of the ongoing Guinness campaign dubbed ‘Black Shines Brightest’, a Pan African campaign celebrating the iconic black liquid enjoyed all over the continent for over a century.

Fireboy, real name Adedamola Adefolahan, put Afro music on the world map when his breakthrough single ‘Jealous’ first appeared on YBNL Nation's collaborative album YBNL Mafia Family (2018), before being re-released on March 25, 2019.

He has continued to rise as an afro-pop star with over 250 million streams worldwide; his greatest hit, ‘Peru,’ whose remix he has featured English singer Ed Sheeran, is a certified club banger that has come to be greatly appreciated by the Kenya audience.

His song ‘Scatter’ from his debut album ‘Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps’ was included in the FIFA 21 game soundtrack and his hit "Champion" was used by FC Bayern Munich for their 2021 UEFA Super Cup celebrations.

Fireboy describes his sound as 'Afro-Life' and said he writes songs that audiences can relate to.

His sound has been characterized as 'slow-groove pop' and is said to tell stories centered on love and the complicated feelings that go along with it.

His music has successfully combined African harmonies with elements of country and soul music and is set to thrill his fans during his highly anticipated live performance in Nairobi.
