Nigerian internet sensation Abisoye Michael popular on social media as Oyemykke has advised rave of the moment Adedamola Adefolahan popularly known as Fireboy to create a unique identity for himself that would make fans easily identify him.

Oyemykke said this is important in order for the YBNL signee to stand out among other young singers.

Fireboy DML, Joeboy and Rema are the three young artiste presently dominating the Nigerian music industry and they all have dreadlocks.

Some social media users have argued that they find it difficult differentiating between Fireboy and Joeboy because the duo look alike.

Oyemykke, who is popular on social media for his inspirational videos and commentary on topical issues, seems to share the same sentiment.

He said though Fireboy is a very talented singer, many people can’t match his name with his face, making it difficult for many to identify the singer.

He gave the advice in a video shared on his IG page. The video has since gone viral sparking a debate on Twitter about the semblance between Fireboy and other young singers.

Oyemykke said:

“I don’t know how to get to you and Badoo so I don’t know how to say it. Fireboy, right now you’re arguably one of the most talented Nigerians out there.

“No doubt you have one of the biggest albums out of Nigeria right now, but I don’t know what you look like.”

Pointing at the screen of the Television in his room playing one of Fireboy’s music videos, he added:

“See the video, I don’t even know who shoot your video, they don’t show me your face.

“Your songs are doing better than your face. Your face should match your songs bro.

“Till now I can’t say this is what Fireboy looks like, you and five other guys in that industry have the same hair. Find a way to differentiate yourself from these other boys, your talent is unique.”

Fireboy’s debut album ‘Laughter Tears & Goosebumps’, has been adjudged by many lovers of pop culture as a great work and one of the hottest albums by a Nigerian hip hop artiste.

Some social media users who corroborated Oyemykke’s claim said:

Oyemyke told the truth about Fireboy and him not having an image of his own. For someone wth one of the hottest albums in Nigeria, he’s doin a poor job sellin his brand

8 in 10 Nigerians wouldn’t recognize Fireboy if he walked past them and that’s where he really needs to fix up
