Olamide Adedeji, often known as ‘Baddo,’ has been praised for his role in the life-changing narrative of Portable.
After Olamide featured in his song ‘Zazoo Zehh,’ Portable went viral a few days ago and has since been trending.
The street youngster, who began small, has grown in popularity, with his Instagram followers increasing from 20k to 131k and counting.
He’s also shared the stage with big names like Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Small Doctor at their shows.
After Wizkid’s concert in Lagos, however, things took a turn for the worst for him, as he called out Poco Lee, accusing him of intellectual theft of his song and cash provided to him by Wizkid.
His promoter, ‘Kogbagidi,’ Pocolee, and a few artists slammed him, accusing him of being ungrateful.
