Identifying himself as Tbaddo, a budding artist has decided to trek 29 days from Delta state to Lagos state to see the popular music producer and rapper Olamide Baddo.
From his statements, the artist said his inspiration and motivation for leaving his home state in quest of Olamide was to ‘blow’, as he believed that meeting the rapper would be all he needed to reach a high level in the entertainment industry, believing that having Olamide sing a verse on an unreleased song called ‘GuoGuo’ will help him achieve his goal because he is proud of his musical talent.
The 27 year old said and we quote him:
“I see that people in Lagos do not value what they have. Look, Olamide is a spiritually bad man, the problem is he only helps Yoruba people if he comes to music. Come close to Olamide very well and look at his eyes tell me what you see.
“Olamide is the only person that can blow me up in the music industry. If Olamide jumps into your song just forget about promotion you did blow be that.”
Speaking about his financial realities and of his high hopes of Olamide taking up his case, he equally said;
“I only had 4500 with me when I left for the journey, Right now, I only have 700 with me here in Lagos.
“Hmmm, I have nothing to do. I better die than face the laughter of the world. Because right now people’s eyes are on me. I know Olamide will not like to tone me down. But if he does we leave the rest for God.”
