Afrobeats star, Fireboy DML has talked about his album and how he never saw Lagbaja’s face while working together.
Fireboy’s fourth album ‘Adedamola’ features big names like Nigerian music legend Lagbaja, Grammy-nominated Afrobeat star Seun Kuti, Grammy winner Jon Baptiste, and Lojay.
During an interview with Apple Music Africa Now, the singer talks about the experience of collaborating with Lagbaja and Seun Kuti. According to the ‘Peru’ hitmaker, he was unable to see Lagbaja’s face because he wore his iconic mask throughout the recording of ‘Back & Forth’.
He Said :
“That’s a special record, right there. It means a lot to me getting a legend like Lagbaja on that record, in [the] time that we are in now. One major theme around the album is nostalgia—there’s this nostalgic feeling when you listen to the album, so it’s only right that I employed my legends in the game to help me push this message. Right from the very beginning, I knew this record was special, and I could not wait for everyone to listen to it.
You would not believe this: Lagbaja was masked up in the studio. It was crazy—I did not get to see lagbaja’s face. I had a few interesting thoughts; I wanted to ask him if I could see his face! But you know, all that matters is that we made the music. That’s what makes Lagbaja, Lagbaja. You know, “Lagbaja,” where I’m from, in the Yoruba language, means, “Mr. Nobody,” an anonymous person; so it’s only right that I do not get to see his face. I’m glad he got to be on the record—a special person, a special artist, a special record.”
