Success story and other achievements

Olamide has without doubt done so much for the Nigerian music industry. He has so far been able to promote a musical niche that wasn’t widely embraced in the industry.

Baddo’s fluency in Yoruba has earned him a well-deserved popularity in Lagos and across Nigeria.

Every year, Olamide’s net worth keeps getting bigger and better. He is currently estimated to worth $8.9 million (₦3.2 billion).

His number one source of income is his music, which has earned him mouth-watering deals with local and international brands, including CIROC, Guinness, Etisalat, Glo, among others.

He was in fact the first Nigerian singer to sign a deal to become a brand ambassador of the french vodka giant, CIROC.

YBNL has been a big hit. The music Label remains one of the biggest rivals to Mavin Records, which is owned by Don Jazzy.

Olamide is a regular recipient of Heddies Awards, Nigerian Entertainment Awards, among others.

Controversies

Olamide’s approach to rap is sometimes considered controversial. He is fond of calling out other rappers and claiming he’s better than all of them.

For example, in his song Eyan Mayweather, he threw jabs at other rapers saying: No other Nigerian rapper has been able to shut down the whole of Eko Hotel in the name of a concert like he did.

His song, Story for the Gods, also received widespread criticisms for its revealing nature and the way the girls were flirty around each other, which is quite against Nigerian norms.

Some of his albums have received mixed reviews. For instance, Dayo Showemimo of Nigerian Entertainment Today rated his album, Street OT, 3.5 out of 5, adding that “Olamide might not have come into the game with a visible business plan but he’s stayed true and loyal to his chosen genre, he’s loved by the street”.

In a contrasting point of view, Tola Sarumi of NotJustOk rated the album a low 3.5 out of 10, stating that the album “is not a pleasant aural experience, it’s a project cobbled together from leftover tracks.

Olamide has, meanwhile, continued to flourish in the Nigerian music scene, and doesn’t look to be taking his legs off the pedals any time soon.
