Speaking during an episode of the 90s Baby podcast, the ‘Cash App’ crooner said artists like himself were able to grow because of Olamide’s sacrifices, support and willingness to give emerging talents room to flourish.
He described Olamide as his number one African artist, stressing that not many established musicians would make similar sacrifices for upcoming acts.
“Olamide is the number one African artist, to me. I am not saying this because I am one of his branches. This man stayed back and made sure all the youngins in the industry like me are in proper space to blossom. Nobody else can,” he said.
In recent years, Olamide has reduced the frequency of his music releases while focusing more on his role as a music executive and producer.
His record label, YBNL Nation, has nurtured several successful acts, including Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML, Asake, Lita and Chinko Ekun.
He has also extended support to other Nigerian artists, including Zlatan Ibile, Seyi Vibez, Bella Shmurda and Ayo Maff.
