Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has outlined the reason why, despite packing stadiums all over the world, he and other Nigerian artists seldom ever tour their own country.
The Peru crooner claimed that although Nigerian music is perfect, there is no structure, which makes doing music tours in the country challenging.
The former YBNL star revealed while speaking to OAP Dotun on Cool FM Lagos that he envisions a time when music lovers would travel from all over the world to Lagos, Nigeria, to attend concerts.
Fireboy said;
“Everyone is saying ‘Afrobeats to the world.’ The music is perfect. But there is no structure. They [foreign] fans are listening [to our music] but when are they going to come to Lagos and watch us perform?
When are we going have arenas in Lagos where we can bring people from all around the world? You know, it [structure] will make everything just easier.”
Speaking on if he thinks Nigerian fans can afford to pay for arena shows, he said;
“Yeah, they will. We already are. We just need to give people the incentive to pay. If you build a proper arena in Lagos, people would want to pay [gate fees] because they know that they are safe”.
