Below are songs Wizkid & Olamide have had the gospel preached!
What Child Is This?
In 2017, Olamide teamed up with South African songstress, Shekhinah in delivering What Child Is This; a Coke Studio Africa Christmas collaboration project.
The song solo-fully sang was about the birth and glorious essence of the Christian saviour, Jesus Christ.
While Shekinah took up the lead verse, Baddo infiltrated in the second verse, rending his vocals in English and Yoruba.
As a matter of fact, if there is any tune to begin your holiday season with, this should fit perfectly.
Fada Fada ft Olamide (Ghetto Gospel)
Phyno in 2016 teamed up with his best buddy, Olamide in releasing this jam. There’s a reason it is nick-named ‘Ghetto Gospel’, and this is because of the importance of gratitude Fino attached to its making.
Going by his rough childhood till he attained fame was not an easy journey for both singers, thus the need to show appreciation to the almighty.
Olamide, in his verse also had reasons to share testimonies too, further attributing his success to the good works of God.
Still an outstanding jam by the duo, and one other their hottest collaborations together.

Oluwa Loni
Wizkid on the other hand also has some tunes which are centered on the spread of good stories.
Off his debut studio album, Superstar comes this amazing eulogy! Although, the flow engaged in Afrobeat our focus here is on the chorus.
He affirms that all things belong to the lord, ‘shebi oluwa loni’ and as such, he will prosper, be blessed with longevity and so many wishful prayer requests.
Still a banging jam, even one which fits into this festive season!
Eledumare (Wizkid and Olamide songs)
Fast-forward to 2013, Wizkid returned with another energetic up-tempo prayerful track – ‘Eledumare’, which literally means “God“.
On it, he prays for his maker’s guidance in his endeavours, and the essential prosperity that follows through.
Quite an amazing and infectious way to say a prayer to your creator and also hitting the speakers with the hot beat!
