The Nigerian singer, born Damilola Afolabi, made this known in a recent interview with *Guardian Life*, where he firmly addressed claims that he lacks artistic depth.

“I’m waking up every day hustling, going to the studio, working, and trying to put out great music,” he stated. “If I wasn’t as talented as people think, I would have stopped a long time ago.”

L.A.X shot to fame in 2013 following his collaboration with Wizkid on the hit track Caro, a breakout moment that led to a deal with Starboy Entertainment.

Since then, he has remained a consistent figure in the Nigerian music scene, releasing numerous singles and albums that have garnered both national and international attention.

He explained that staying relevant in a fast-moving industry like Afrobeats requires more than just talent—it demands resilience and continuous growth.

The artist emphasised that his journey reflects a deep commitment to his craft, challenging the notion that his success was handed to him.

Fans and industry insiders have rallied behind the singer, praising his ability to evolve musically and remain true to his sound amid shifting trends.
