Entertainment – Olamide Is Better Than Burna Boy, Wizkid & Davido As Far As This Is Concerned
Olamide might not be able to rub shoulders with the likes of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy when it comes to international recognition but he’s so good at one thing which they all lack! In the last decade, Olamide turned unknown Artistes into mega superstars and I don’t think he’s stopping any time soon. Apart from being a good Rapper and an amazing Singer, one thing Olamide knows how to do best is – Recruiting and turning Street singers into Super stars. Right from the days of Pelepele, Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Viktoh, Xino, Davolee, Temmie Ovwasa, Lyta, Picazo Rhap, and down to the new waves Fireboy & Asake. Olamíde is far ahead of others as far as discovering new Artistes is concerned For me, I know for sure that when it comes to scouting for good Artistes, Olamide is far ahead of Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido.. I can bet it with anyone that Fireboy and Asake won’t be as big as they are assuming they are signed to any of the other big stars record label. Let me drop my pen at this juncture and allow you all do the talking Now, over to you Do You Agree Olamíde Is Better Than Burná Boy, Wízkid & Davído When It Comes To Discovering New Artistes?? Let’s hear from you all as regards this. Drop your comments
