FELABRATION OF LOVE: OLAMIDE SHOWS OFF HIS GIRLFRIEND
Love in the air! Wave-making Yoruba rapper/lyricist, Olamide Adedeji shares a cool picture of one of his amazing moments with his girlfriend. He captioned it “Felabration of Love”.
The first time I saw this face (the lady) was during D’banj’s sister’s wedding in July/August, Olamide who was one of the groom’s men took a cool picture with the lady in a car.
RADIO HIT SHOW: OLAMIDE: SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!!!
Even a deaf man can tell that Olamide’s music is different, I have always argued that the best artiste won’t sell as much as other unique artistes.&nbs p;I honestly think that award promoters should add “the most Different artist ” category to their award list.
