February 8, 2022 Olamide Is Set To Take A Bow With Final Album ‘Unruly’

Olamide Is Set To Take A Bow With Final Album ‘Unruly’

The Eyan Mayweather rapper is set for partial retirement.

After a decade of dominating the music scene in Nigeria with timeless classics, chart-topping bangers, and street anthems, the YBNL boss is set to make his graceful exit from the music game with his tenth and final album.

Olamide came into the mainstream with his daring single Enduro in 2011. 
Rapsodi, his debut album, was released the same year. 
Its main track, “Omo To Shan,” reached the top of the charts on various radio stations in Lagos and across Nigeria. 
In 2013, it was followed by YBNL (Yahoo Boy No Laptop) and Baddest Guy Ever Liveth. 
The singer and rapper has amassed an immense catalog chock-full of pioneering singles and bangers that have soared beyond Africa and international borders. 
But none of his endeavors would top Eyan Mayweather, he stated in a tweet in 2020, the same year he released Carpe Diem, a mid-tempo album that marked his move into his golden years.

“Next Album, #Unruly; 95% ready. Release date; I don’t know. Taking my time to make it the best ever… probably my last album.” “Though I’ll drop singles once in a blue moon when I feel like it. It’s been a mad ass run, giving albums back-to-back.”. He said.

This announcement has left fans with mixed reactions; some celebratory of Olamide’s decision, others perceiving it to be a joke.

While his mates, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido, who all stepped into the limelight in 2011 and the new wave of artists are continuously shooting for the stars and aiming for the moon for academy awards and international accolades, Olamide’s announcement indeed comes, as a shock considering, the nature of an industry that everyone hits the gas and never brakes.

Whether the message conveyed in the tweet is genuine or a publicity stunt to garner anticipation to his next album, Unruly, Olamide should be celebrated for a successive career run.

This is a progressive time for artists, where the definition of success is relative. Unlike other artists in the Nigerian music industry who consider winning a Grammy the final jewel to add to their self instilled crowns, For artists like Olamide, who are peculiar for not ardently chasing international acclaim, it is the opposite. The goal for these artists is to come, conquer and make a graceful exit while the ovation is loudest. And that is something!

D’banj- ‘Music Is Not Enough To Attain That Luxury Lifestyle That Musicians Love’

The music star says he has looked at other sources of income to keep his family and fame intact.

Nigerian music icon Daniel Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known as D’banj has said that music alone is not enough to attain that luxury lifestyle that musicians love.

The music star made this known while chatting with Premium Times on why he has looked at other sources of income to keep his family and fame intact.

“I tell people this, music brings you into the room but what you do in that room is entirely up to you. So if you’ve read, which I know you have, you see that I’ve been more focused, especially when I became a family man,” he said.

“It’s my sixth year in marriage, and ever since then, I’ve looked for different platforms that would keep my fame and family intact. So if you were to Google Jay Z or the wealthiest musicians in the world, you would see that only 10 percent of their wealth is probably from music.”

When asked if music alone isn’t profitable, he said it is profitable “but music alone is not enough to attain that luxury lifestyle that musicians love.”
