Fireboy says Lagos gave him quite the welcome
Speaking during a recent livestream, the singer said his first weeks in Lagos were far from what he had imagined.
“I was so scared the first time I came to Lagos in 2016, in Surulere,” he said.
Fireboy recalled seeing someone run mad, dead bodies, and cultists within just two weeks.
However, instead of running back home, the young musician gradually adapted to Lagos and its lifestyle.
“Now, I also look like those scary people,” he jokingly added.
But years later, Fireboy found himself causing a very different kind of panic.
The singer also recalled how his family reacted after he posted an Instagram Story showing him with a cigarette in his mouth.
According to Fireboy, his relatives immediately began discussing the post in their WhatsApp group.
“My mom was crying,” he said, explaining that he had to convince them it was simply part of his showbiz presentation.
Fireboy admitted that after assuring his family it was only an act, he eventually smoked the cigarette.
“I later smoked it, sha; I can’t lie,” he added.
