Fireboy DML: The Afrobeats Star Redefining African Fashion on the Global Stage
By Yemisi Suleiman
Fireboy DML has been turning heads not just with his music but with his fashion choices during his recent European tour. Known for blending effortless cool with striking style, the Nigerian superstar has consistently elevated his stage presence with outfits that command attention.

His headlining performance at the OVO Arena Wembley, where he shared the stage with Ed Sheeran, was no exception. Fireboy’s sartorial choices throughout the tour have been a perfect reflection of his music—vibrant, edgy, and unapologetically unique.
For his Wembley show, Fireboy’s looks were a standout, capturing both the energy of the performance and the diversity of his style. He opened the show in a sleek black leather jacket paired with designer cargo pants and chunky boots, giving off a rebellious yet polished vibe. Later, he switched into a more casual but equally bold look, wearing an oversized white shirt with vibrant graffiti art splashed across the front, combined with fitted denim, which balanced comfort and style for a high-energy set.
The night reached its peak when he brought out Ed Sheeran for a surprise performance of their hit “Peru (Remix),” with Fireboy donning an effortlessly cool ensemble of a graphic T-shirt layered under a tailored vest and distressed jeans.
One of the most notable fashion moments from Fireboy’s tour, however, was when he took to the stage wearing jeans from up-and-coming Nigerian-British designer Mobolaji Olagbegi. These custom “Offering” jeans, part of Olagbegi’s latest collection, perfectly encapsulated Fireboy’s ability to mix contemporary style with African-inspired flair. The jeans featured intricate stitching and a unique pattern that echoed traditional Nigerian textile designs, giving a nod to Fireboy’s roots while keeping the look modern and fresh. This collaboration highlighted Fireboy’s commitment to supporting emerging African designers and his eye for fashion that is as distinctive as his sound.

Fireboy DML’s European tour has not only showcased his evolution as an artist but also his growth as a style icon. While on tour, he received praises for the various accessories he wore on set. Most of these adornments were designed by Kevin Obibi, Co-Founder and Lead Designer of offeriing. His standout pieces were the rosary style neck pieces, noted for their originality and balance.
The duo at OFFERIING have added a new facet to the superstar’s closet, which has already received rave reviews from critics, with outlets like Vogue and Hypebeast praising his ability to push boundaries while staying true to his identity. Whether he’s performing on stage or making appearances off it, Fireboy’s outfits are becoming as much a talking point as his music.
As Fireboy DML continues to rise, both in the music and fashion worlds, all eyes are on what’s next for the star. With his European tour coming to a triumphant close, Fireboy has hinted at new music and more international performances, all while solidifying his role as a trailblazer for African culture.
He’s not just a musician, but a pioneer representing the African fashion scene on a global stage. From collaborating with emerging designers like Mobolaji Olagbegi to consistently championing African creativity, Fireboy is at the forefront of a movement that’s bringing African fashion to the world’s biggest platforms. His influence is expanding beyond music, shaping the future of how African talent is perceived and celebrated worldwide. Fireboy DML: The Afrobeats Star Redefining African Fashion on the Global Stage
