Olamide\u2019s New Year Resolution Is To Change From \u201cgod\u201d To \u201chuman\u201d (December 28, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olamide revealed in his 2019 New Year Resolution that he will be changing from a god to human come 2019 because of his plans to deal with some set of people he labelled \u201csmall kids\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Olamide, evolving from god to human is hard for him, but regardless, he is getting used to how it\u2019s done in the human kingdom.<\/p>\n

He further stated that it is a hard thing to do but he finally understands the ways of \u201cmother fuckers\u201d and \u201csons of bitches\u2018 and he will deal with them\u201d<\/p>\n

Olamide Storms The Stage Of OLIC Wearing Face Mask (December 25, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A few hours to his show, OLIC 5, Olamide shared cool photos of his outfit. In classy Olamide style, it was as unconventional as the singer’s fashion sense has proven to be since he surfaced on the music scene. Donning a black face mask, he wore a white shirt and black pants accessorized by straps that looked like suspenders and holsters. His choice of footwear was also rather peculiar to the dressing.<\/p>\n

Olamide Responds To Money Ritual Accusation In \u201cLogo Benz\u201d (December 21, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A few hours after the release of the song \u2018Logo Benz,\u2019 by Lil Kesh which featured Olamide, some fans of the star were disappointed with the content of the song especially the money ritual which looks to glorify criminal behaviour.<\/p>\n

In the past, there have been accusations by people that Olamide tends to glorify absurd and bizarre form of money making and are of the opinion that it has become some sort of trademark for Olamide especially.<\/p>\n

His hit track \u201cStory for the Gods\u201d which seems to justify rape and another track, \u201cScience Student\u201d seems to glorify the use of drugs although the musician made an attempt to save face by making an inspiration video.<\/p>\n

There are insinuations that Olamide seems to love promoting perversity under the guise of \u201ccreating awareness. However, the musician has since responded to the accusation via Twitter stating that Logo Benz is for the 3rd party to have a glimpse into the current state of youths in our society.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the attention comes with a bad time as the pop star is set to headline a concert in a few days and some people are already crying for the show\u2019s boycott.<\/p>\n

Lil Kesh Reacts to Money Ritual Accusation in \u201cLogo Benz\u201d (December 21, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olamide\u2019 prot\u00e9g\u00e9 has also responded to the criticism surrounding his song in which the glorification of money rituals was its main subject.<\/p>\n

According to Lil Kesh, the issue of money ritual is one that has become incessant in the country in recent times with several reported cases of individuals or groups arrested with human parts and people killed for \u201cblood money\u201d and his song was to increase awareness and not to promote the act.<\/p>\n

Olamide Talks About Having Same Show Date With Wizkid (November 25, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olamide cleared the air about how his having the same show date with music sensation Wizkid could affect turnout.<\/p>\n

According to Olamide, the population of Nigeria is huge, and everyone cannot fill up one event centre. He further stated that Wizkid\u2019s show would not in any way affect the success of his own show. The artist revealed that he didn\u2019t know about the date of Wikzid\u2019s show so it was a surprise for him it clashed with his own.<\/p>\n

Olamide Holds No Grudge With NBC\u00a0 (November 25, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is no news that the National Broadcasting Commission has banned several Olamide songs over the last few years.<\/p>\n

According to the popular musician, he stated that he is not trying to please anyone; he\u2019s simply just trying to make music. And if anyone likes his songs, it is okay but if it turns out that you don\u2019t like it, it is cool too. He further revealed that he doesn\u2019t feel NBC targets him or his songs as he believes they are just doing their job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olamide addresses artistes who buy Youtube views on \u201cBugle\u201d (October 17, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In October 2018, Olamide released a new single for the streets, Bugle. In the song, he addresses boys who use their money to buy views<\/p>\n

From Twitter to YBNL: Rap Star Picazo Rhap signs to Olamide\u2019s YBNL (October 15, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olamide\u2019s record label signed the Nigerian rap sensation, Picazo who recently went viral after a video of him freestyling surfaced on social media has been signed by indigenous rapper, Olamide\u2019s YBNL.<\/p>\n

Picazo who has been busy releasing song covers and freestyle on his Instagram handle finally got his break and got noticed by Davido and Olamide. His decision to join Olamide\u2019s label shows that he chose YBNL over Davido\u2019s DMW.<\/p>\n

Davido Shuns Wizkid\u2019s and Olamide\u2019s Concerts (December 24, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyone is talking about Wizkid and Olamide after last night\u2019s shutdown in Lagos from both artistes.<\/p>\n

While Wizkid hosted many at the Made in Lagos Festival, Olamide also hosted thousands at his OLIC5.<\/p>\n

There had been murmurs that falling on the same day would affect these concerts, however, both concerts were successful.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Wizkid even showed up at Olamide\u2019s concert to give his support at the end of it.<\/p>\n

What however has remained shocking and would make news is the absence of Davido at both shows.<\/p>\n

While it could be that Davido and Wizkid\u2019s much-celebrated reconciliation and friendship has once again met its deadline as the battle for supremacy takes over, we can\u2019t help but wonder why Davido also shunned Baddosneh\u2019s OLIC5 or why he wasn\u2019t invited.<\/p>\n

From all indication especially judging by his snap and IG stories in the last 24hrs, Davido is in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Wizkid Pictured At Olamide\u2019s Concert #OLIC5 (December 24, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wizkid pulled an interesting stunt as he managed to show up at Olamide\u2019s concert despite having his own concert the same day.<\/p>\n

The concert tagged OLIC 5 was held at the Eko Convention centre. This was the same night as Wizkid\u2019s Made In Lagos Concert which took place at Eko Atlantic city.<\/p>\n

At about 2 am, Wizkid kicked off a live set at his (own) festival which spanned about an hour. After mesmerizing his fans, the Starboy found a way against the terrible traffic situation to navigate to Olamide\u2019s concert where he also delivered a brief performance<\/p>\n

Fans Threaten To Boycott Olamide\u2019s Concert Over Content Of New Single, \u2018Logo Benz\u2019 (December 21, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As he opened the track with the lyrics, \u201cI dey pray to Jesu, ko wo wole o, If money no enter I go do blood money o\u2026\u201d, which seemingly validate the harrowing act of money rituals, Olamide looked to be setting himself up for some castigation.<\/p>\n

In the course of the song, both Olamide and Lil Kesh went on to loosely endorse the use of female undies by cybercriminals for sacrifice \u2013 a ravaging trend that has reportedly caused a lot of ladies to lose their sanity and lives by extension.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this comes just days after Olamide released an equally suggestive video for his single, Poverty Die \u2013 a song that saw him waging war against lack and penury. In the said video, some scenes found him pacing in a hall sort of like a teacher supervising an array of masked men, nodding in unison to the tempo of the song with personal computers on their laps \u2013 a reference to the act of internet fraud.<\/p>\n

Olamide calls himself \u201cthe Voice of the street\u201d as his music is a portrayal of street culture. He is also positioned as the bridge between the street and mainstream, offering his wings for a crop of talented artistes to fly on \u2013 Lil Kesh is a product of his good will. Olamide\u2019s modus operandi is quite understandable but needful to note is that art can be used for much more.<\/p>\n

Art can be reflective, destructive and corrective and by every stretch, music which has now become one of the most popularly consumed forms of art as the ability to perform the roles ditto on an exceedingly great scale thereby extending a duty of consciousness to singers and songwriters whose pen and voices capture and echo the tales that are told.<\/p>\n

The rapper has overtime declared that the intent of his music is to create awareness around these damaging activities on the streets but in doing so, Olamide continues to, maybe unknowingly crawl along the edges of destructive art. The rapper personalizes these social vices in an endorsing stance without making any concrete attempt to be corrective.<\/p>\n

The said song was released to an uproar as a number of the listening public on Twitter were disappointed by the record. Some have begun to suggest that fans boycott the forthcoming Olamide Live in Concert #OLIC as a penalty for the rapper\u2019s negligence.<\/p>\n

Olamide Makes Statement On His Wedding Nine Months After Proposing To Babymama (December 4, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cMy Senior Wife\u2026Oya we all have a wedding to plan.\u201d These were the words of Olamide when he proposed to his baby mama in March, but 9 months later, he seems to be making plans to kill poverty instead.<\/p>\n

In the past, Olamide has been quite candid about his resistance to marriage but the rapper shocked us when he proposed to his girlfriend in March.<\/p>\n

Even though they\u2019d been dating for almost a decade and have a cute son, Adedeji Batifeori Maximiliano, together Olamide appears to be in no rush to marry her baby mama.<\/p>\n

The rapper shared a video with the caption \u201cWhen my aunties and uncles start asking me about marriage\u201d. This display seems to indicate that the musician may be under some pressure but the question is, is he ready to submit to it?<\/p>\n

Olamide Reveals What He Does Asides Making Music (November 13, 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Olamide is undoubtedly one of Nigeria\u2019s most successful musicians ever. The rapper\/singer has studied the Nigerian market and keeps churning out music to suit the music needs of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

This month, Olamide took delivery of a Bentley. Little wonder, many ask if he is just into music or has his hands tied in some other business.<\/p>\n

The rapper had a response to that. He wrote, \u201cThey asked me what else am into apart from making music – I tell em \u201cI shaku on the beat as well\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know, Shaku shaku is a popular viral dance in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that Olamide signed a deal with Play TV sometime in February this year. The YBNL Boss took to his Instagram page to make this announcement which he also revealed that they will be giving out 100 decoders to the First 100 people to get to Play TV\u2019s office which is located at 1, Continental Drive, Off CMD Road, Ketu in Lagos.<\/p>\n
