The RED office is full of so many strong personalities that’s amazing we actually get any work done. Not a day goes by without a fight on Slack or the YNaija Editor yelling about something silly like arranging Excel documents in alphabetical order.

There’s someone that unifies us and keeps us from killing ourselves though. No, not Chude. It’s Olamide. Here are 5 reasons why we love Olamide

1. He gave us Lil’ Kesh!

Thanks to Olamide who discovered our boy wonder, Lil’ Kesh! Who, for giving us Shoki –Orezi’s doesn’t count—would forever bear the title: Superstar l’omo and for helping birth probably the greatest retort of all time. Ever had someone come to you yarning straight shit? Not to worry, you’re one “iranu abasha” away from winning the verbal duel.

 

2. We love his sense of humour.

Nope! I don’t care what you say, I’m not biased. Is it your article? If you don’t agree with me, write a rebuttal but first, go hug transformer. Remember, change has come and if you don’t believe me, you’re in for a shock.

 

3. We love how razz is the new cool.

There’s a new running theme in Nigerian pop culture, razz is the new cool and who do we have to thank for this emancipating movement? Well, not all platitudes go to Olamide but he helped shape and propagate the movement. Don’t believe razz is the new cool? PLIX JUST GERRARAHERE MEHN! SHIT! YOU DUN KNOW NOTHIN. Everyone I know, in suit, tie or ballroom gown MUST go down low when the Original Baddoo comes on your speaker; be right back, I need to go jam to Story for The Gods.

 

4.  We love his consistency.

From Eni Duro to Shakiti Bobo everything he’s put out has been a hit! There’s a debate he releases too many songs, but let’s ignore those haters.

 

5. We loved him vs Linda Ikeji

I’ll just let the tweets speak for themselves…

 

Anyone know if Olamide and Linda have finally made up?
