Fireboy DML share visuals for his D Smoke-assisted track “Champion”

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Fireboy DML has released the official music video for his widely celebrated track ‘Champion’, featuring American rapper D Smoke. The track, which originally appeared on Fireboy’s sophomore album ‘Apollo’, has been a fan favorite since its debut in 2020.

Champion quickly gained international recognition for its uplifting message of resilience, self-belief, and triumph against the odds. The song’s infectious melody and Fireboy’s emotive delivery earned it positive critical acclaim, culminating in its inclusion on the official FIFA 2021 soundtrack — a major feat for any African artist.

The newly released visuals, directed by the acclaimed Thankgod ‘T.G’ Omori, perfectly capture the spirit of the track. The video follows Fireboy as he navigates powerful, cinematic landscapes symbolizing personal growth, perseverance, and victory. D Smoke’s cameo adds a unique West Coast energy to the track, bridging Afrobeat and hip-hop cultures seamlessly.

Ahead of the premiere, Fireboy took to Twitter to share a heartfelt message: “Felt inspired making this video, I gave it everything. I hope it inspires you too, to see that there’s no mountain you can’t climb if you leave your comfort zone.”

With ‘Champion’, Fireboy DML continues to cement his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most versatile and globally appealing voices, blending authentic Afrobeats rhythms with universal, motivational themes.
