Seyi Tinubu helped his career – YBNL Queen Bee defends Fireboy as fans drag him for performing at Tinubu’s pre-inauguration concert

YBNL Nation member, Queen Bee has come to the defence of Afrobeats sensation, Fireboy DML who came under heavy fire after he performed at the pre-inauguration concert of president-elect Bola Tinubu.

No fewer than 46 musicians were booked for the concert which held on Thursday, May 25, 2023 and the ‘Peru’ crooner was among those who honoured the invitation.

But his fans were furious with his action, so they took to Twitter to lambast him for not respecing the feelings of those who support him.

Reacting to the backlash, Queen Bee revealed that Seyi Tinubu was the person who took Fireboy to meet his boss, Olamide.

She tweeted; “Lol most of them don’t know Seyi Tinubu introduced Fireboy DML to Olamide.”

Some other social media users also shared reasons why they believed Fireboy did nothing wrong.

@TheSilvapr; Seyi Tinubu was part of the reason Olamide signed Fireboy and you expect Fireboy not to perform for Tinubu?? if na you, you no go perform? cancel una.

@Officially_Kriz; Seyi Tinubu was the one that introduced Fireboy DML to Olamide & gave him a life changing opportunity in YBNL. Y’all want Damola to hang his friend dry because of twitter for red pen .

@OnyeAdugbo; Fireboy confesses to Seyi Tinubu helping his career out. Seyi gave out cars and wheelchairs yesterday at the concert.

Papa dey build people, pikin dey build people. If you have a problem with this family you need to check yourself. You are the problem. Mend your ways.

The event, titled ‘RenewedHopeConcert’ was organised by the youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to celebrate the contribution of young people during the general elections.

Some other artistes that performed include; Naira Marley, Waje, Brymo, Asake, Fireboy, Kaycee, Asake, Timaya, BNXN, Pasuma, Tony Tetuila, and Seyi Vibes.
