He expressed shock at the rapid international success of his debut hit song, 'Baby', which became a sensation within just three months of its release.

Reflecting on his unexpected rise to fame, Joeboy revealed that he hadn't anticipated being recognized by people so soon.

In his words;

"I wasn't ready when 'Baby' blew. I had to adapt to get used to fame. It was so sudden. I dropped the song ['Baby'] in March [2019], and by June I was already doing shows in countries I thought they don't listen to Nigerian music. Countries like Tanzania, and Uganda. In three months!"
