Famous Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly called Fireboy DML, has revealed plans to join the movie industry this year.
Fireboy, who said he took the bold step because he always receive compliments that he is “very dramatic”, said he had showcased a bit of his acting skills in some of his music videos but is now set to make his major acting debut this year.
Speaking in a recent interview with Billboard News, Fireboy also said he would be releasing an album this year.
“I am excited to share with the fans that I am releasing my album this year. I am finishing up the album here in LA. I’ve got an apartment with a pool. I want to be in an environment that reeks of happiness, peace of mind, and comfort. And that’s what I want the album to sound like.
“I am also going into the movie industry. Yeah, I am going to be acting. My people have always said that I am a dramatic young man. I mean, I know being dramatic does not equate to knowing how to act but I do know how to act. I have acted in a couple of music videos. I can’t let this gift [acting talent] waste,” he said.
