In a recent interview on City FM, Fireboy DML shared his thoughts on conflicts among artists in the Nigerian music scene. He stated that disagreements are a normal part of the music industry, emphasizing that artists are human and, therefore, subject to differences of opinion and occasional disputes. Fireboy underscored the idea that while conflicts may arise, they should be viewed as part of the artistic process, contributing to the vibrant dynamics of the music world. His insights highlight the importance of understanding and navigating these disagreements within the industry.
“Everyone should just focus on what concerns them. Let artists be artists, fans be fans, and the media keep telling the stories,” Fireboy DML stated regarding the ongoing conflicts in the music industry.
Addressing the recent showdown between Wizkid and Davido, he remarked, “Beef is normal. We are all human.” Fireboy’s comments reflect his perspective that while disagreements among artists may occur, they should not detract from the artistry itself. He emphasized the importance of allowing each party to fulfill their roles—artists creating music, fans enjoying it, and the media sharing their narratives.
In the interview, Fireboy DML emphasized his preference for minding his own business, reiterating his desire to lead a drama-free life. He also discussed his recently released fourth album, Adedamola, which features collaborations with artists such as Lagbaja, Jon Baptiste, Seun Kuti, and Spinall.
Fireboy revealed that the collaborations with Lagbaja and Seun Kuti were suggested by YBNL boss Olamide, who served as the executive producer for the album.
Conflicts among artists are not uncommon in Nigerian music, with notable disagreements spanning different eras. Recent years have seen disputes between Ruger and BNXN, who eventually reconciled to release a joint EP titled RnB. Additionally, Davido and Burna Boy have had a highly publicized conflict that shows no signs of resolution, paralleling the ongoing issues between Wizkid and Davido, which have recently escalated.
