A Twitter user was made to feel the heat after giving his opinion on the legendary Nigerian rapper, Olamide. He said Olamide has little international recognition because he is not as fantastic as he seems. He further noted that Olamide flourished simply because he is Yoruba.
The user with the handle @Bagofnuts_ naturally underestimated Olamide’s fanbase. They all spoke in favor of their icon and claimed to have achieved the well-deserved status of a legend in the Nigerian music industry.

They also asked themselves why anyone would crush the efforts of such a hard-working artist as the self-proclaimed ‘Baddo’.
See the tweets below:
Olamide is not a fantastic artist. He thrives on the fact that the music industry is 70% Yoruba. There’s no reason he should be in any GEAT conversation, the top 3 is clear.
Exactly why he has little international recognition.

Olamide is Mr Consistency, who has been making effortless hits for ten years now. Or are we talking about his eye for finding talent, or support for emerging artists. Very few come close.
You can not have a conversation about the growth of Nigerian music without mentioning Baddo 1001x.

You drag Olamide because you sing and rap in Yoruba, but your favorite song is “Despacito”

Olamide, a Nigerian. Rap and singing in Yoruba, English. Yet you crucify him, because he raps largely in Yoruba. pic.twitter.com/GaRUn7iIZj– evxch⚡️ (@enoch_xxx) 5 January 2021
Many artists make music on Yoruba, but they still have not reached half of what Olamide has in the industry. so it’s easy for him?

Olamide has not only consistently blessed us with hits for a decade,
The YBNL boss also gave us stars like Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold and Fireboy.
Olamide is not only a music king, he is also a Kingmaker and deserves great respect.

The music industry is 70% Yoruba because Olamide has dominated it for over 4 years, with hit after hit after hit. He shifted the gear himself before wiz and Davido took over.
It’s nut. https://t.co/AjFgOA0Kfu

Remove your international validation from the name of Olamide, he does not seek it. You put pressure on the artist you put into it, and they all failed and became slaves of the whites. We enjoy the music of Olamide here shit !!!

Olamide did not go so far as to despise, but man was consistent
