I Have Spent Years Lifting Others, I’m Now Focusing On Myself 100% – Olamide
Ace Nigerian rapper and music executive, Olamide Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide Baddo, has disclosed that he is currently in a new phase of life focused entirely on himself.
Speaking in a recent interview with Flow 98.7 FM, the YBNL boss said he has long been balancing between helping others and pursuing his personal music journey, but has now chosen to focus squarely on his own well-being and growth.
“Right now, I’m at the phase in my life where I’m really trying to give myself undivided attention,” he said.
Olamide reflected on his years of supporting others in the industry, noting that he has always tried to be available for those around him while managing his own career.
All my life I’ve been trying to be there for people and also trying to do my stuff. But right now, I’m really just trying to focus on myself 100 per cent,” he added.
Naija News reports that through his record label, YBNL, Olamide has played a key role in launching the careers of several successful Nigerian artists. Notable names nurtured under his imprint include Lil Kesh, Young John, Pheelz, Fireboy DML, Lyta, Asake, Adekunle Gold, among others.
In addition to those signed under YBNL, Olamide has also offered major platform support to other rising talents by featuring them in songs that later became major hits
These include Zlatan Ibile, Naira Marley, Portable, Bella Shmurda, and many more.
However, controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, recently claimed that assistance in the Nigerian music industry is strictly a business matter.
The Zazu crooner stated this in a video via his Instagram page, claiming he had helped more people in the music industry than his colleagues Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid and Davido.
According to Portable, his assistance is not only limited to those in the music industry but also extends to the less privileged.
Portable added that when most of the artistes, his colleagues are using for business decide to be independent, they label them as ungrateful.

Davido Slams Sophia Momodu’s Lawyer After Custody Case Is Dropped
Nigerian music star, Davido Adeleke, better known as Davido, has publicly called out the lawyer representing his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, following their recent court session over joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
Daily voice recalls that drama ensued during the court proceedings when Sophia’s lawyer questioned how Davido could guarantee Imade’s safety when he was unable to protect his son, Ifeanyi, who passed away in October 2022.
The lawyer’s comment ticked Davido off, who reportedly lost his cool and slammed the lawyer in the courtroom.
The court proceedings were halted for a while, and when the court reconvened, the judge asked Davido to apologise to the court and the lawyer, but the singer reportedly refused, insisting he can never apologise to the lawyer for using his deceased son against him.
Taking to social media shortly after the hearing, Davido did not hold back, accusing the lawyer of being unprofessional during the proceedings.
The singer also expressed anger that his late son, Ifeanyi, was mentioned during the session, describing the move as insensitive given what he and his wife have been through.
Davido further called the lawyer a wicked human being, insisting that he defeated her during the courtroom exchange.
He wrote, “@belachukwu I disgraced you in the courtroom. I was teaching you your work, you couldn’t even take it and then went on to mention my son… like I said in the courtroom. I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever… and you were still smilling smirking… You are a wicked human being. You are the worst lawyer ever. I beat you in court! you are not learned.”
