Since bursting onto the Nigerian music scene in 2019 with his debut album, Fireboy has quickly established himself as a prominent figure among the new wave of African music stars.
His rise to stardom has been marked by a series of hit songs and albums, each contributing to his growing reputation as a talented and versatile artist.
On August 19, 2024, Fireboy took to social media to announce the upcoming release of his fourth studio album, titled Adedamola, scheduled to be released on August 29. This album will be his first release in two years, following the success of his third album, Playboy, which featured chart-topping tracks like “Bandana” featuring Asake and the title track “Playboy.”

This shift has sparked curiosity and excitement among fans eager to hear a more intimate side of the artist.
Pre-save links for the album have already been made available on major streaming platforms, revealing that the album will include lead singles “Yawa” and “Obaa Sima,” both of which were released in 2023, along with his latest single, “Everyday.” These tracks have already garnered significant attention, building anticipation for the full project
