Please Help Me Beg Olamide – Fan

Please, Help Me Beg Olamide!

I love Olamide very differently.I admire many things about him.He’s kinda more matured, cured and prepared than many celebrities in the Nigerian Music industry.He has a neat height, a fitting build and lips.He’s handsome, you know? He has a bleeding heart too. He speaks good English, and about his like candy voice, what can I say? He has helped to limelight, quite a lot. Badoo seems always original. He doesn’t fake things. I couldn’t make it to his OlIC 4 and for that, I’m not too happy.

Who doesn’t know, that Wizkid won big at the iHeart radio Awards. Wizkid won BET best international act, Africa. Daddy yo took home, the prize for AFRIMA best African male artiste in western Africa, he won MOBO best international act, just like Davido walked away with AFRIMMA artiste of the year gold star, MTV best African act, MOBO best African act and Future Award musician of the year.To crown it all, the duo were ranked among the most influential young Africans. All this happened in 2017. Where was my Olamide? Where was the king of the streets?

Please, help me beg Olamide. Help me tell him to leave his Lagos comfort.Tell badoo, the whole world wants to hear wobe sound. Tell him he can also shut down Africa.He can shut down America.Is he not beyond a small town act? He’s a long way off a local artiste. What’s wrong with Olamide? Is he feeling too proud to approach foreign superstars for a collabo? Maybe he feels he would be rejected. Is he afraid of footing the bill? He doesn’t want to spend money? Is he feeling inferior, low-grade or substandard?

The world itself is not standing still, so, anyone who wants to remain on the button must keep moving.Time is quite precious and is not worth handling with levity.Is Olamide not aware that Lagos is now more beautiful than she used to be? Does he not know, that the streets are no longer as rough and ugly? Just the same way, people’s music taste changes.Guys prefer world class cars, world class houses.They crave for world standard fashion and world standard musicians too. The whole world is fast becoming a small room and only those, who strive for a space remain important.

Please, help me beg Olamide.Tell him it doesn’t take so long to be blanked out and erased. It takes a few days to be forgotten and termed irrelevant. Open up, that people now tag him a local musician and such a stature is not just wonderful. He’s getting side-tracked.Tell him guys now discuss Davido and Wizkid, without mentioning his name. Tell him not to wait till he would start running around, pleading for relevance. Just that, no matter what, nothing in this world is worth selling one’s soul to the devil for.
