Olamide
When it comes to Philanthropy in the music industry, Olamide’s name must always pop up. He is well known for supporting upcoming artists’ career and often provide free verses for them.
He is also known for sponsoring the music videos for upcoming artists. In 2017, Skales revealed that Badoo was the one who sponsored his ‘Shake body’ music video and since then his life has not been the same.
Skales wrote: “Guys I’ve been holding this back for so long but I gotta let the world know @olamide_YBNL …actually gave me cash to shoot ‘shakebody’ vid”
“Back then because I was super broke and couldn’t afford to shoot a video for that song I will neva forget it bro, thanks a lot, bro @olamide_YBNL
“And since then my life has never been the same….GOD BLESS ALL THE REAL AND TRUE ONES OUT THERE.”
Another artist for who Olamide has sponsored his music video is Bella Shmurda. Bella Shmurda came to the limelight in 2020 after the remix of his Vision 2020 which Olamide was featured on went viral.
In a live chat with media personality Adesope Olajide in 2021, the singer revealed that the YBNL boss called him up and asked him to make a remix of his song ‘Vision 2020,’ after which he paid to shoot a video for it.
Zlatan
Zlatan is also an artist who has shown support for upcoming artists. In 2019, when BNXN fka Buju was unpopular, he was able to get Zlatan featured on “Spiritual” song thanks to fans on Twitter who appealed on his behalf for the Zanku crooner to appear on it.
