Joeboy, the stage name of Nigerian artist Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, has admitted that he wasn’t prepared for stardom when he first rose to popularity.
Three months after the publication of his first hit song, “Baby,” he stated he was taken aback to see it become an international hit.
He claimed that when he first rose to fame, he had no idea that anyone would ever recognize him.
Joeboy claimed in an interview with the Afrobeats Intelligence Podcast that his rise to stardom was unexpected and that he had to leave his neighborhood in order to adjust to his new position.
“When ‘Baby’ blew,” I wasn’t ready,” the singer admitted. I had to adjust to the life of celebrity. It happened so quickly. In March of 2019, I released the song “Baby.” By June, I had already performed live in nations where I had assumed no one was interested in Nigerian music. nations such as Uganda and Tanzania. Three months from now!
