Nigerian singer, Bella Shmurda has shared his journey as an emerging artist in the music industry, giving credit to rapper Olamide for paving the way for him.
During a recent interview, Bella Shmurda declared Olamide as the most significant success in the music industry, even going as far as to crown him ‘number one’.
The singer recounted how the YBNL founder supported him during his early days as an upcoming artist and stood by him during challenging times.
He said that if his children were to inquire about the person who had the greatest impact on his life, he would mention Olamide before even considering his mother.
“That’s Olamide Baddo, just him. I’m telling you to be sincere, I’m not telling you this because I am part of his branch. I’m saying out of what I’ve seen, what I have known, this man stayed back and properly put most of us young artists in a proper position, in a proper space.
“Even if my child grows up and is like ‘Daddy who helped you become something’, I would first say Baddo first before I even remember that I have a mother. I’m telling you to be sincere so I feel like Olamide Baddo is number one over anybody,” he said.
