Ybnl Boss and Versatile Music artiste, Olamide aka Badoo is one of the most respected and recognized artiste in the Country...

His versatility to rap and sing and also fit into different genres of music from trap to reggae to fuji and many more has distinguished from The crop of talented artistes in Nigeria today..

This brings one to the reason why the artiste has not been duly recognized internationally and outside Nigeria alongside his peers like Davido and Wizkid..

Why is Olamide name lacking in most international awards and the talented artiste not getting deserved attention from the outside World..

ettaetta:
Every one has his/her own style, dont expect him to sing like wizkid or davido.
I believe the style he is doing now is the magic that works for him. Every artist has a target audience and this dude is really doing well in the african music.

Its better to be a king at home than to be a boi boi internationally. He is really making impact. So far he is the most consistent naija artiste.

I disagree with you on wat u said that being a consistent act is not the best because if he had just one hit people would still complain that olamide has just one hit,100 likes 4 dis comment......badooo all d way

"Rather be a lion in the jungle than to be a slave in the city"

Olamide is a local rapper he is not interested in the international whatever.

Go Olamide go!!!

One of the most talented musician in Nigeria

PublicAssurance:

thesicilian:

buharisbae:

issue of not getting international features and bla bla is due to the fact that he is Local! anyways I still love olamide!

and yeah he need to slow down in the release of song he need to get people to thirst for his song! that's y WizKid doesn't drop singles and album any how he needs to be thirsted for in the industry

Akjr:

saintdennis:


Have u ever seen olamide headline a 'top society' event? All corporate events want falz (badt guy) why? Cos he adds curry to his flows and doesn't go the agbero route.

If olamide can't break into corporate nigeria how then can he break into the int'l scene?

But I appreciate his music sha...I no go lie. But he doesn't have a classic track yet.

Dahveydson:
If you don't understand music, Keep shut!!

Who International recognition epp?

D'banj went international, where is the koko master today?

And some of the points are outrightly ridiculous and stupid, because he doesn't dress corporate? Really? Did Fela dress corporate?

These jokers with nothing to write about should go and work on being known in their Local govt first before attempting to throw stone at someone for not being international.

Op who you epp? You don bath? Smellos!

Note - Doing indigenous music is not an excuse for lack of intl recognition. 9ice was invited to nelson mandela and MOB0 and Yousuf won a grammy with his local songs.. So doing local or indigenous song is never an excuse..



1) Quantity Over Quality - Olamide has made quantity is main goal..Flood the scene with songs and songs till you reach a point of equilibrum and then start to decline...

Olamide has failed to allow the people thirst for his songs and his releases are not up to expectations too...

It gets to a point listeners are no longer gingered to listen to what the artist will say as artist becomes monotous and repititive.

The rapper is even gearing up to release a sixth studio album.

2) Branding - Branding is also very much .... The Kind of brand Olamide potrays is of the not too internationally minded artist. He hardly dresses corporate and potray his versatility in his brand..

He has even gone ahead to Brand himself a Local Rapper. This type of image projected is the way he is addressed..

He has even refused to meet up with more influential managers and more serious minded and music experts ..... The lack of Expertise on the side of the management and consisting of influential managers does bear its mark.


3) Appeal - While deviation from indigenous music is not the point. Appeal is very paramount..... Olamide style is not appealing to the outside world.. Sometimes balancing works.. I wonder if Hausas listen to olamide songs ? But i bet more listen to 9ice ? Why

A little of more mature songs and english lyrics might do the trick....Do something appealing to every one and yet dont forget the minority. You dont waste international features with Wale on songs like papilo you go make us proud....

Give them what they love.. Trap,pop. Feature more of their artistes and seek for international features....


Olamide is a Legend and will remain one... However , breaking into the international market Like Wizkid is not an easy job......

Olamide has too much talent than to be labelled a local rapper... We want to see him topping the billboard chart and copping his own BET award soon too... Enough of the Headies and NEA awards.

Some people up there have been spitting rubbish on half baked educated people, touts listening to Olamide's songs... I laugh at your stupidity.. Aliko dangote is a tout right, Ambode is an half baked individual abi, Tinubu is a rogue abi, Please apply little sense when arguing, weigh your words if it is preaching sense... And you that are fully baked, Can you please describe your bakery so that those names up there can be baked there.... Yamayama sha... That's his genre of music, his styles, he once said it in one of his songs... *dem say make i dey wear suit/ i too dey wear towntops, dem say i sign so many artiste/i go soon bankrupt, f*ck you and your thoughts, iya yin o le help....... what's the essence of spitting in English and not making sense, to those that doesn't understand Yoruba,Can we understand Phyno too? Or is he left out.. Abeg.. Olamide organizes concerts overseas.. That's one of the steps to sell himself out.. Slow and Steady wins the race
