Fireboy has to be one of the most underrated artistes in all of afrobeats. He's so eloquent and loves his art dearly ❤

[@Chefnonso]

He is not underrated he is popular. The sky is big for everyone to shine

[@adeyinkasotunde6870]

Giving Grammy award to artist like this will make me ever to be grateful to come to this planet called earth. Zero - Arrogance , !00% - Pureness.

[@godwinololade7243]

Did you hear what he said?? He said "God gave me Peru"
Man is humble, I really love this Fireboy

[@ebereobiajuru7939]

Now i know where "since 06 i've been writing this story" came from. Meaning he has been writing poetry from 2006.

[@Big_Dorthmurze_Olamidotu-mp1hi]

Yeah I thought as much too

[@finallyaugok1885]

Its interesting to hear his background. I also always used to argue with my friends that his songs are actually well-written, rich in content. Nice one. I dont think his journey has even started.

[@Toksolalove]

Interviewer was excellent! He understood his job and asked the right questions. Fireboy easily felt comfortable with him and gave us an awesome interview! ❤

These younger artistes like Ayrra Star, Fireboy and Rema do have great interviews with seamless eloquence and brilliance while the likes of Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid just speak jargons most of the time.
