Nigerian singer Fireboy DML recently shared a lighthearted and personal insight into his life during a podcast appearance, revealing his deep connection to his Yoruba roots.
In a candid moment, Fireboy proudly stated, “Making eba at 3 a.m. is a pleasure for me. It’s true Yoruba heritage.”
The “Peru” crooner’s comments sparked both laughter and admiration from fans, with many resonating with his love for traditional Yoruba food. Eba, a staple in Yoruba households made from garri (cassava flakes), is often enjoyed with various soups, and for Fireboy, it holds sentimental value tied to his culture.
His playful declaration showcases how even as an international music star, Fireboy remains grounded in his heritage and traditions.
Fans have taken to social media, sharing their appreciation for his authenticity, with some even sharing their own late-night food habits in celebration of Yoruba culture.
It’s moments like these that remind us how culture and food remain central to the identity of many African artists, even as they rise to global fame.
