BEVERLY HILLS, July 31, (THEWILL) – Popular Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, aka Fireboy, says his parents weren’t supportive at the beginning when he declared he wanted to be a musician because he was a promising child that was supposed to be an academic professor.

He disclosed this while speaking on the season Finale of ‘Behind The Story’, a show by MTV Base. He said things took to a dramatic turn after he told his parents he was venturing into music. They branded him as the black sheep of the family over his choice.

He said: “My mother was forcing Yinka Ayefele, Tope Alabi’s songs down my throat. I was not the black sheep in the family until I told my parents I was going for music.
