Afrobeats star Oxlade has credited fellow singer Fireboy DML with shaping his early career and teaching him the art of music composition.
Speaking during a recent livestream with popular content creator Shank Comics, the Kulosa crooner said Fireboy’s guidance during his formative years was “life-changing,” describing him as one of the best songwriters in the Nigerian music industry.
“When it comes to pen game, nobody is touching him [Fireboy],” Oxlade said. “I learnt how to properly compose music from Fireboy. He was miles ahead. He was part of my transition into making proper music before I started doing my own thing. Him putting me on was life-changing.”
Oxlade and Fireboy, both rising stars in the Afrobeats scene, have maintained a mutual respect for each other’s artistry, with fans often praising their lyrical depth and storytelling abilities.
