<p>Afrobeats sensation Adedamola Adefolahan, widely known as <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Firebo-DML"><strong>Fireboy DML</strong></a>, has opened up about the difficult path he nearly took before finding success in music despite having a university degree.</p>
<p>Speaking on a recent episode of the <em>90s Baby Show</em> in London, the <em>Peru</em> hitmaker recounted how close he came to setting up shop under Ajah Bridge in Lagos to sell rechargeable lamps.</p>

</p>
<p>This was shortly before his life changed in 2018 when rapper and music executive <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Olamide"><strong>Olamide</strong></a> signed him to <strong>YBNL Nation</strong>.</p>
<p><em>“Thank God for that [Olamide signing me]. I was considering selling rechargeable lamps. I met one guy under Ajah Bridge, he was telling me about the business and I told him I was interested,”</em> Fireboy said.</p>
<p>He explained that while he was already selling pepper soup at a joint, he was looking for something that felt more dignified.</p>
<p><em>“To me, at the time, it was more dignified. At least, people will call you a lamp seller. But selling pepper soup is crazy, bro. My parents didn’t know I was doing menial jobs. It was crazy but now, we thank God,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>In a surprising revelation, Fireboy added that his YBNL signing happened via WhatsApp—a turning point that ushered him into the spotlight.</p>
