[Gist]: Olamide Tells How He Became A Mega Success As An Artist

Olamide did not wake overnight to make a lot of money to buy his brand new Range Rover SUV lately, he had trekked to shows he was never paid, it was producer ID Cabassa who helped him become who he is today…
Thanks to Ciroc Ultra Premium vodka that signed him as their first Nigerian ambassador, we heard the money that was paid to him for this is huge, now, he can dine with the big boys like D'banj because success has met him.

Badoo as he is called by fans said, "I hardly got invited to perform at shows. When invited, I was rarely respected because of my background. Sometimes, I had to walk from my house to the venue of the show and back because it was obvious I wouldn't get paid," he said.

I had to give my producer some CDs to listen to; most of them were foreign hip-hop. I told him I wanted my album to sound different. Although I am doing ghetto music, the sound has to be appealing. The idea is that those who do not understand the language will listen to the music and love it. We had to take our time. We recorded over 40 songs for the album but had to select the best,"
D'banj who has not been as pronounced as he used to be after parting way with Don Jazzy could not sign him, even when Kay Switch, his brother gave fans the false hope that Olamide is a member of the family, he has a lot of regards for Cabassa. He said, "When I met Cabassa, he told me that I would not start work immediately, that I had to learn the ropes. I had to take my time. I was always going to the studio."
And this habit of going to the studio has become a better part of him.
