Nigerian Singer Joseph Akinfenwa Donus popularly known as Joeboy, recently replies to the Criticism of his just-released hit song “Alcohol” which has been greeted with diverse reactions, with some being of the opinion that it promotes Alcoholism.

The Singer explains that the song is not meant to encourage Alcoholism among the youths.

The 24-year-old singer’s new song ‘ Alcohol ‘ released on the 24th of September has been trending on Tiktok and other social media networks since its release. This led to a viral challenge where fans were seen pouring harmful content like bleach on their bodies with some even going to the extent of drinking Dettol.

There is always something one needs to fix or solve. I am not encouraging alcoholism in any way but I understand that people need breaks but trying to run away from one’s problems won’t fix them at the end of the day.”

Sharing his thoughts on the success of the song, he said, “It is really special for me, seeing how big the song is becoming and how big it is going to get. It was a different step (direction) in my sound.

It’s not like the regular Joeboy sound that people are used to. I am more or less known as a lover boy. I am not saying it’s a bad thing but I wanted to explore different sounds. Alcohol is the first step in evolving my sound.”

Sharing his thoughts on how he felt before the release of the song, He said, “I was a bit nervous before the song was released because I was not sure if people were going to accept it. It is totally different from what I normally do. The reception has been amazing so far. It is my biggest charting song since the beginning of my career.”
