Olamide proudly sang local rappers but you’re using international collaborations to troll him, someone that has said numerous times that he’s not a fan of it, these Olamide’s slanders are forced.

Olamide and Wizkid produce magic everytime they work together.
From Omo to Shan, to Kana, to Confam Ni, to Totori etc.
Two legends whose friendship can not be dented by the unnecessary comparison on Twitter.
