Afrobeats sensation Oxlade has opened up about a major influence in his music journey — fellow singer Fireboy DML.

Speaking during a recent livestream with popular streamer Shank Comics, the ‘Kulosa’ hitmaker revealed that Fireboy played a key role in shaping his approach to songwriting and composition in the early days of his career.

Oxlade praised Fireboy’s exceptional writing skills, calling his penmanship “untouchable” in the Nigerian music industry.

“When it comes to pen game, nobody is touching him,” 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.”

Fans of both artists have often noticed the strong lyrical depth in their songs, and now it’s clear that their creative bond runs deeper than most imagined. With both stars continuing to dominate the Afrobeats scene, their shared history makes their individual successes even more remarkable.
