Fast-rising Afrobeats star Ayo Maff recently opened up about the pivotal moment that transformed his music career — his collaboration with superstar Fireboy DML on the hit “Dealer Remix.”
In an exclusive interview on Trending, Ayo Maff shared how he had been searching for a big-name feature to boost the track’s reach, and Fireboy’s contribution was exactly what the song needed to skyrocket.
“Without Fireboy, there will be no Ayo Maff because he gave me that thing I want. So thank God and thank you to Fireboy,” he confessed, expressing gratitude for the unexpected but life-changing collaboration.
The remix’s success earned Ayo Maff a nomination for the coveted Headies “Next Rated” award and led to a dream performance opening for Grammy-nominated star Asake at London’s iconic O2 Arena — a milestone he describes as surreal.
