Fireboy DML, a popular Afrobeat singer, has revealed that he declined lucrative offers from prominent artists in the industry before his record label boss and senior colleague, Olamide, came along. During an interview, the singer shared that he was approached by a few well-known artists who expressed interest in signing him to their record label, but he refused. According to Fireboy, when Olamide eventually approached him, he was certain that it was the right decision for him, and that experience helped him make better decisions in the industry going forward.
