He added that he had no idea that Peru remix, the second-best-selling song of the year, would become as popular as it has.

You we Recall that Adedamola Adefolahan, better known by his stage name Fireboy DML, has confessed that early in his career, he frequently prayed to God for an album similar to Wizkid’s debut effort, “Superstar.”

He revealed this when discussing the release of his own debut album, Laughter Tears and Goosebumps, with UK-based broadcaster Adesope Olajide.

Fireboy responded that he was worried and dubious because the album came out after he had just released two songs when Adesope questioned him about if he knew or felt that LTG would be a classic success.

He continued by saying that he had previously prayed to God for an album like Wizkid’s Superstar.
