Afrobeats singer Folarin Odunlami, popularly known as Fola, has recounted how he was arrested and made to spend a night at the police station on the day he relocated to Lagos to pursue a career in music.

The ‘Alone’ crooner stated that the incident demoralised him and almost made him to give up on his dreams.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM Lagos, Fola explained that his resilience has helped him to adapt to Lagos’ bustling lifestyle.

“I relocated to Lagos in 2018 to pursue my music career. It has been rough but… I wasn’t born here, so it was so hard at first but I have adapted to both the living conditions and the hustle.

“The very first day I came to Lagos, I assumed arrested. I slept at the police station. It was a long story. I don’t want to remember it. I almost gave up,” he recalled.

Fola gained prominence after he was signed to famous singer Bella Shurmda’s Dagbani Republik in October 2024.

Since releasing his breakthrough song, ‘Alone’, Fola has collaborated with Afrobeats stars such as Wizkid and Kizz Daniel.
