hop sensation, Ololade Keshinro, mostly known by stage name Lil’ Kesh, has revealed the true personality behind Nigerian hip hop street king, Olamide Adedeji popularly known as Olamide Baddoo.
Kesh revealed in a recent interview how Olamide Baddoo helped to ground him in the industry and how he stood by him and his new label like a brother, teacher and friend.
Lil Kesh also disclosed the reason Olamide has remained the undoubted street king over the years is simply because of his (Olamide’s) humility which makes him see himself like an up-and-coming artiste like everybody else on the YBNL label. He said these are the morals Olamide instills in every member of the YBNL team.
“Honestly, if there is another percentage after 100, I think Olamide deserves that and more. He did not make us see ourselves as an artiste or a celebrity not to talk of letting the fame get into our heads, instead he made us believe so much in our potentials and always advice emphatically that when fame comes tread softly and always remember where you are coming from. Out of curiosity, before I was officially signed on YBNL record, I had moved and studied Olamide as a person to know what made him successful in the industry and within a short while, I learnt a lot from him. One fact people don’t know is that Olamide does not see himself as being big in the industry yet, he hustles like he is an upcoming artiste.”
The young rapper, who just released his album and launched his label YAGI, also revealed that standing alone and owning a label is his own way of following the legacies of his boss Olamide, who is solidly behind him. He said that in no time, he would be unveiling new artistes but first he need to work on his self and slowly but steadily build more recognition for label.
“I will definitely sign in new artists because it is the legacy Olamide taught us knowing that at some point I have to look back at when I had record label and I won’t be nice if I have nothing to show for it. When I get to that stage when I think I am capable enough financially, intellectually; I will also want to discover someone’s talent in the industry. For now, my strength basically is for me and makes the brand big.”
