In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Olamide confirmed the news, which had been circulating on social media. He said, “It is true that the two shows will happen on the same day. The population of Nigeria is huge and everyone cannot fill up one event centre.”
The rapper-turned-singer also insisted that Wizkid’s show would not affect the success of his own show. “I believe the sky is big enough for all birds to fly without touching each other. I honestly don’t feel there will be any negative effect. If you switch on your television set, I am sure you have many options; so, it is left for you to decide which station you stay tuned to. That is how I see things.
Olamide maintained that he didn’t have any inkling the date of Wikzid’s show would clash with his own. He said, “I am not living in his (Wizkid) mind, but I don’t think anyone has an issue with it and I am sure we will both make good money from the shows.”
Olamide also stated that he held no grudge against the National Broadcasting Commission for banning some of his songs.
He said, “I don’t think it is possible to please everyone. Even in the Bible, there were people who didn’t like Jesus despite all the wonderful things He did.
“I am not trying to please anyone; I am just trying to make music. If you like my songs, it is okay. If it turns out that you don’t like it, it is cool too. I don’t feel NBC always targets me or my songs; I just feel they (officials) are doing their job.”

Wow! Two big elephants. I like his last paragraph.
ReplyDeleteSo mature. I too like this guy.
ReplyDeleteI believe this celebrities have people who tell them these things. How can Olamide fix his show on the same day as wizkid? Wizkid has been advertising his since October. So there's no way Olamide will say he didn't know.
ReplyDeleteWrong move. Most of the people going for Wizkid’s concert would like to be in his but Wizkid stays winning. It’s just what it is. He would have just moved it to another date to rake in the money. But na dem sabi. Not like I de go sef. I am not a fan of crowded places.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't this where their managers come in, to take statistics of events supposed to happen on the day of their artists concert so that there aren't conflicts?
ReplyDeleteYes, the sky is large enough for all of us but both of them seem to have mutual fans hence there just may be conflict which will be realised in their financial returns at the end of the events. But what do I know? 🚶🚶🚶
The first thing that came to my mind too. Don't they have managers?
DeleteThat's the date baba gave to him. Spiritual things!
