Now let’s look closely at his life. Olamide Adedeji, or, as many call him, Olamide Baddo, was born in Bariga, Lagos State, Nigeria. Interesting fact: his name literally translates to ‘wealth has come’.
When he was only 11, he realized that he wanted to be a musician. Therefore, after studying Mass Communication at TASUED (Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State, Nigeria), Baddo decided to make his dream come true.
In the year 2011, the world saw his debut album under the Coded Tunes label, Rapsodi. It is also worth noting that Olamide raps mostly in his native language, Yoruba. After that, the money and fame came pouring.
In 2012, he created his own music label called Yahoo Boy No Label (YBNL) Nation. Currently, there are four music artists under this label: Olamide himself, Davolee, DJ Enimoney and Temmie Ovwasa. Olamide is also good friends with other Nigerian musicians, such as Wizkid and Davido.
Since 2013, he has been an ambassador for several huge companies, like Guinness, Nike, Cîroc, Etisalat and Sterling Bank.
In 2014, he started dating Adebukunmi Aisha Suleiman. On January 30, 2015, the young couple welcomed their newborn son Batifeori Maximilliano Adedeji. Even though they have a child together, Olamide expressed no intention to marry his girlfriend.
Currently, the rapper enjoys his hip-hop lifestyle, which involves expensive cars, skyscrapers, loud parties and exclusive clothes. In his tweets, he has also expressed his love for football. A week ago, he released a music video for his track Wavy Level, and social media have been blowing up with the hashtag #wavylevel.
