In an emotional video, veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo shares how he surprised his son Montel at his American employment, warming hearts.

When Montel was accepted to an American institution in 2023, Kanayo openly begged for his son to stay grounded, keep away from distractions like tattoos, and stay loyal to his upbringing.

The actor has since continued to show pride in his son’s progress abroad.

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.

Unexpected Partnership with Wizkid Olamide also talked about his recent partnership with Wizkid on the popular song Kia. 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. Olamide’s Afrobeats Legacy and Vision Beyond friendships, the discussion focused on Olamide’s remarkable ten-year career, which included over 10 projects, international tours, and partnerships with musicians such as Dr. Dre. As a music executive, Olamide has nurtured some of Afrobeats’ biggest stars, including Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Young Jonn, and Asake.

“No matter what your life goals are, you should never make fun of God. “People should not undervalue the extent of the Lord’s goodness and grace,” he stated. Olamide also disclosed that his own difficulties in obtaining opportunities early in his career are what drive him to help up-and-coming musicians.
