Concert Highlight: Moment Olamide paused performance to hail Phyno, calling him “My Brother” in a touching concert moment.
It was a heartfelt moment at the Eko Convention Centre when legendary rapper Olamide Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide, paused mid-performance to honor fellow rapper Chibuzor Nelson, popularly known as Phyno, warmly calling him “my brother.”
The exchange captured the depth of their decade-long friendship and professional partnership. Turning to Phyno during the set, Olamide said, “my brother, my brother, Oremi atata,” prompting a visibly moved Phyno to respond, “my nigga, my nigga.”
Fans quickly shared clips of the touching moment across social media, with many praising the rarity of such a genuine, ego-free bond in Nigeria’s competitive music scene.
The YBNL boss and Phyno thrilled the audience with a high-energy set, performing hits from their extensive catalog. Their joint album 2 Kings and collaborations like “Ghost Mode” and “Fada Fada” have cemented their chemistry in the industry, and their synchronized performance reminded fans why their partnership has stood the test of time.
Olamide’s set took the crowd on a musical journey spanning his career. He first delivered his signature street-hop bangers, igniting the venue with infectious energy, before transitioning into soulful tracks from his latest project, IKIGAI, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
With headline performances from Flavour, Asake, and Davido anchoring the four-day event, Flytime Fest 2025 continues to be the heartbeat of Nigeria’s festive season. Celebrating its 21st anniversary this year, the festival has solidified its status as Africa’s premier indoor music event, blending star-studded performances with moments of genuine artistry and camaraderie.
