I’ll only drink alcohol if I’m offered N100 million – LAX

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Damilola Afolabi, whose stage name is LAX, has revealed that he does not take alcohol, but he would be willing to consider it on one condition.

In a recent interview on The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, LAX said he would start drinking alcohol if he is offered N100 million.

The former Starboy Entertainment signee also said he can perform anywhere in the world so long as money is involved.

LAX said; “If there is money involved, even if it is Saudi Arabia, I will go [to perform]. Right now, I don’t drink but if you give me N100 million, I will drink two bottles of rozay.”

The singer also said he is underrated in the industry, but he understands that everyone has different journey’s in life, so he is doing what he loves.

He said; “I feel underrated [in the Nigerian music industry]. But I don’t think it’s that serious to me. I’m just doing what I love. And I feel like people around the world are seeing what I am doing. So it’s not like I am not doing something.

“Everybody has a journey. Everybody has the path that they are supposed to follow in life. So I just feel like some people will be underrated. And for you to even be underrated, that means you are rated.”

In related news, rapper Blaqbonez also said that he neither drinks alcohol nor smokes illicit substances.

Blaqbonez took to his Twitter (X) page on Thursday and said he does not indulge in the vices because he feels they are for “bad people.”

The rapper added that, unlike most of his colleagues, he doesn’t take alcohol or smoke because he is firm in his opinion of people who indulge in them.

“I think drinking and smoking is for bad people. I’m always going to be firm on my stand, unlike most artists, no drinking or smoking,” he wrote.
