Nigerian singer and songwriter, Fireboy DML has revealed that he’s been listening to rapper, Odumodublvck since 2020.
He made the revelation while being interviewed by OAP Dotun on Cool Fm while talking about how he picks his collaborations.
Fireboy said what determines the artistes he works with is primarily having connection with them first, but he added that on other occasions he’ll settle with someone if the song connects with the person.
The ‘Vibration’ crooner said when he met Odumodublvck three years ago, the synergy was existent from the beginning before many people knew his music.
He further talked about his collaborations with Blaqbonez, saying they have been buddies from way back as they attended the same university.
Fireboy said he felt like Blaqbonez would perform well on a track and when he hopped on the song, it came out successfully.

Budding Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, known professionally as Asake, has revealed that he begged YBNL boss, Olamide for about two years before he agreed to sign him.
The ‘Peace Be Unto You’ crooner said Olamide invited him to his house on a random day and asked him whether he would like to join his record label, and he accepted without hesitation.
The Afrobeats sensation said the indigenous rapper told him to get a lawyer and study the terms of the contract, but he was too excited and signed immediately.
Asake said, “Before he [Olamide] signed me, I’ve been begging Baddo [Olamide] since 2020 to sign me. One day, I got to his house, then he asked me… This part burst my head. This is how he signed me. He said, ‘How are you, Asake?’ I said I’m fine. And he asked me, ‘Would you like to join YBNL?’
“You don’t understand, for somebody you look up to, somebody you respect, somebody you’ve been longing to see, to ask you that question. I told him that I’m ready. He said, ‘Go and think about it. Go and look for a lawyer.’ I said, ‘Baba, sign me now now now. I don’t want any lawyer. Because I love the [YBNL] family so much even from afar.”
