He also said the presence of cultists and the appearance of some Lagos residents contributed to his fear at the time.

According to Fireboy, despite being frightened by his new environment, he refused to give up on his dream and eventually adapted to the lifestyle in Lagos.

“I was so scared the first time I came to Lagos in 2016, in Surulere. People’s eyes were so red, and they looked scary. In two weeks, I saw someone run mad, dead bodies and cultists. Now, I also look like those scary people,” he said.
