Phyno shuts down comparison debate with Olamide
Renowned Nigerian rapper Phyno has voiced his frustration over a social media post that ignited a heated debate comparing him to fellow rapper and close friend, Olamide.
The controversy started when an influencer on X (formerly Twitter) posed the question of who the “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) was in Nigerian rap between the two artists.
Phyno quickly responded, expressing his disapproval of the comparison and urging fans to stop fueling divisive conversations. “Yo!!! Tf is wrong with u guys for God sake .. stop putting me up against my brother or anybody else for that matter,” Phyno wrote, making it clear that he doesn’t support being pitted against Olamide or any other artist.
Phyno further emphasized the strong bond he shares with Olamide, highlighting their mutual respect and dismissing any interest in competitive comparisons. His comments reflect his desire for unity in the industry rather than unnecessary rivalry.
Fans have since joined the discussion, sharing a mix of reactions, with some agreeing with Phyno’s stance and others continuing the debate.

“Full-Time Job” is Phyno’s most ambitious work, featuring collaborations with top artists such as Burna Boy, Fave, Chip, ArrDee, Cheque, Flavour, NSG, and Johnny Drille. The album embodies Phyno’s mission to share his culture with the world while crafting music transcending borders.
