Nigerian singer Fireboy DML revealed that a post on his Instagram story, where he was seen holding a cigarette in his mouth, led to panic among his family members. During an interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, Fireboy explained that the post was intended as part of a showbiz moment.

However, the reaction from his family was immediate and emotional, particularly from his mother, who started crying after seeing the image. Fireboy had to reassure his family in their WhatsApp group that the cigarette was merely part of his presentation and not a cause for alarm.
