5 Popular Entertainers Olamide Brought To Limelight

 

 

 

 

 

He is arguably the King of the Streets in the music industry.  Olamide Gbenga Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide or Olamide Badoo, is one of the most prominent and most influential music artists in Nigeria.

 

After years of consistently putting out studio albums, Olamide is undeniably a force to reckon with. His big break came in 2010 when he released the hit song “Eni Duro”. So far, he has released over ten albums and has featured in many musical collaborations.

Tagged as the “proper street boy”, Olamide has shone his light on other musical talents after floating his record label “Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL)”. So much so that popular rap artiste, M.I Abaga saluted him, saying “Olamide is the greatest of all time”.

 

To name a few, Olamide has introduced the following artists to the Nigerian music industry; CDQ, Adekunle Gold, Chinko Ekun, Zlatan, Naira Marley, Lil Kesh, Picasso, Viktoh, Lyta, Davolee, Temmie Ovwasa, DJ Enimoney, Pheelz, Fireboy DML, and a host of others.

In this article, we discuss the top five artists he brought to starlight.

 

 

 

  1. Adekunle Gold

Adekunle Gold now referred to as ‘AG Baby’ is one of the earlier beneficiaries of Olamide’s influence. He joined the YBNL label in 2015. Shortly after, he released hit singles; ‘Sade’, ‘Orente’ and ‘Pick-Up’ to the delight of his fans.

 

A year later, ‘Sade’ won the Best Alternative Song Award at the Headies 2016. However, in the same year, he left the label after the release of his debut album ‘Gold’ on July 28, 2016.

Upon his exit from the label, the singer said this of his stint, “YBNL moved me. I had Sade before YBNL and it was already getting popular. When I got signed to the label, we shot the video and it became like a sensation everywhere.

“Getting signed to YBNL took me to London for the first time. That was in 2015. So, YBNL changed everything for me. I am grateful to Olamide for all the support and inspiration.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Fireboy DML

 

 

 

 

Fireboy joined YBNL Nation in 2018 alongside Lyta, Limerick, Picazo Rhap and Yomi Blaize.

His signing was the least publicized of his set. One can sense his cool and calm persona is in contrast to the other signees that were into freestyle and rap music. His breakthrough came with the release of the “Jealous” album.

He has since gained so much rep that he featured with foreign artistes including English singer, Ed Sheeran on his hit single “Peru”.

 

So far, he has featured Post Malone, Maradonna, 6Lack, and many other foreign singers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Asake

Ololademi Asake is now a household name in Nigeria.

Ahmed Ololade Asake, known professionally as Asake is also one of Olamide’s proteges. The rave of 2022 announced on Twitter that his luck changed after “one call from Olamide”.

He revealed that a friend, Yhemolee, played his songs to Badoo. A remix of “Omo Ope” was recorded, the music video was shot and a few days later, Olamide asked Asake; “Will you like to join the family?”. A remarkable signing into the YBNL record label.

In just six months, Asake has released his debut album “Mr Money With The Vibe” and several singles including “Sungba”, “Omo Ope”, and many others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Portable

Another grass-to-grace transformation!

Although not signed under his record label, Olamide made the biggest song in December 2021 with a street artiste, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable.

The popular tune ‘Zazuu Zeh’, a remix of the original version, made tremendous waves that Portable was nominated as a recipient of the NEW ACT Award by the Headies. He was however disqualified for gross misconduct.

One could say that Olamide’s lit verse, influence, and good PR made the song and the artiste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Lil Kesh

With the release of ‘Shoki’ in 2014, Keshinro Ololade, known professionally as Lil Kesh rose to the limelight. He was formerly signed under Olamide’s record label. Recalling that he was just a street boy doing freestyles around secondary schools in Lagos. Lil Kesh revealed that he was introduced to Badoo by his friend Viktoh.

Olamide pumped Kesh’s fan base after he got Davido to feature on the party jam ‘Shoki’ remix. The youngster released five singles; ‘Lyrically’, ‘Gbese’, ‘Efejoku’, ‘Shoki’ & ‘Shoki (remix)’ before he floated his own record label “YAGI”  Young And Getting It)

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
