Fast-rising street pop superstar Ayo Maff has described his collaboration with Afrobeats star Fireboy DML as a significant moment in his career.
The singer stated in an interview on HipTV Trending that Fireboy’s line on the remix of his popular song “Dealer” played a crucial role in helping him achieve widespread recognition.
“Without Fireboy, there will be no Ayo Maff because he gave me that thing I want. So thank God and thank you to Fireboy,” Ayo Maff said.
The ‘Dealer’ remix, which enjoyed massive commercial success, was named Spotify Nigeria’s biggest song of 2024.
The collaboration came as a surprise to Maff, who admitted he never anticipated Fireboy would feature on the track.
The remix not only skyrocketed his visibility but also earned him a nomination at the recently concluded Headies Next Rated award.
Ayo Maff’s music, deeply rooted in the realities of street life, resonates with themes of brutality, poverty, and the relentless hustle in challenging environments.
