A man with an X [formerly Twitter] identity of Bank Alat has claimed that singer Adedamola Oyinlola Adefolahan, known professionally as Fireboy DML, is his friend and that they had been friends since the musician was an unknown entity.
Alat tweeted on Fireboy’s birthday, wishing him a happy celebration before reminding him of the need to remember him in the trenches.
Fireboy DML is signed to YBNL Nation, a record label founded by Nigerian rapper Olamide. His debut studio album, Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps, was released in 2019.
In 2020, Fireboy DML gained media coverage in Nigeria when his hit single, Champion, was used by FC Bayern Munich for their UEFA Super Cup celebrations.
His song, Scatter, from his debut album, Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps, was included in the FIFA 21 game soundtrack.
In November 2022, his song, Coming Back For You, was included on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
Bank Alat is known for his controversial and humorous tweets and he also refers to himself as Mr. Entitlement.

I don’t know how I feel about “I’m entitled to your money”. I want to assume it’s a joke. Because I have family members who believe they are entitled to my hard work and sweat. And I make it a point to remind them. No one in this life owes you anything.
If anyone does anything…
