The renowned Nigerian rapper Olamide Baddo has talked candidly about his friendship with Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid, three other Afrobeats giants, calling them “troublesome buddies.”

Olamide, in Yoruba, stated during his appearance on the Afrobeats Podcast with Adesope Olajide on Monday:

“My buddies Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid are simply too disruptive. These guys are cool; it is just that sometimes people cannot agree on a lot of things, and that is okay.

He disclosed that when he played Wizkid a couple of unreleased songs from his album during the video shoot, their collaboration came about on its own. Actually, that was not how we had planned it. I was simply playing some songs from my record for Wiz on set, and it was only intended to be Kia. Then Billionaire’s Club came on. He was immediately drawn to it and demanded to participate immediately,” Olamide stated. He thanked Wizkid, describing him as “a solid person” and lauding his friendship and support.
