With over 630 million streams on the platform, Olamide’s impressive feat underscores his enduring success and influence in the music industry.

    Olamide has steadily produced hits songs and albums throughout the course of his storied ten-year career, solidifying his place among Nigeria’s most renowned musicians. Baddo has amassed one of the largest discographies in Nigerian popular music with eleven solo albums, which highlights his diversity and creative ability.

    Olamide’s streaming numbers serve as a testament to his commercial success, with his hit singles spanning from his breakout song “Eni Duro” in 2010 to recent collaborations such as “Amapiano” with Asake, which earned him a nomination at the 66th Grammy Awards.

    Beyond his own music career, Olamide has also made significant contributions as a successful label boss, nurturing and mentoring emerging talents under his YBNL imprint. Artists such as Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Pheelz, Fireboy, and Asake have flourished under his guidance, further solidifying Olamide’s influence and impact in the Nigerian music industry.
