According to Fireboy, who recently got to the ‘news’ for saying he doesn’t intentionally make Afrobeats songs, the new single ‘Everyday’ toll a different line from his previous works as he embraces a more grounded and culturally-rythmic vibe with traditional African beats as the backdrop, gentle shakers in place of typical percussion, and smooth horns that compliment the melody.
With the new Single ‘Everyday’, Fireboy induces an intimate atmosphere that complements his soulful lyrics with a softer, rhythmic forward approach that’s a marker of his continuous musical innovation.
In ‘Everyday,’ Fireboy’s emotive lyrics delve into themes of longing and affection, with poignant lines resonating with listeners on a personal level.
Most recently, Fireboy DML took to the desert to make his debut at Coachella with a high-energy performance alongside Nigerian superstar DJ and record producer ‘SPINAL’L.

Fireboy was also recently featured on Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 List. He also scored a major collaboration with American superstar Justin Timberlake on ‘Liar’ off Timberlake’s album ‘Everything I Thought It Was’.
Fireboy’s international acclaim is a testament to his success as a global star who scored one of Afrobeats biggest exports ‘Peru’ with the remix featuring Ed Sheeran. The single has received an RIAA Platinum certification and has been declared 2x Platinum in the UK.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
