Nigerian music sensation Fireboy DML has shed light on his decision to collaborate with fellow artist Rema, rather than succumbing to anticipated rivalry, stating that they both possess a forward-thinking mindset.

In an interview with Apple Music's Ebro, Fireboy emphasized their collective leadership within the Afrobeats genre, expressing a mutual understanding to transcend fan expectations of conflict. "Instead of feeding into the desire for drama, we chose collaboration," he shared. "Our vision extends beyond mere entertainment; we aim to create meaningful music."

The artists' decision to join forces came amidst persistent comparisons on social media following their simultaneous rise to fame. However, the duo silenced speculations by teaming up for the track "Compromise," featured on Fireboy's acclaimed album "Playboy."

This strategic collaboration not only solidified their amicable relationship but also showcased their commitment to artistic excellence.

With promises of additional joint projects on the horizon, Fireboy and Rema continue to set an example of unity and innovation within the music industry.
