Monster Energy proudly welcomes Naija music icon Olamide to the family. In between a heavy touring schedule and working on his forthcoming album. We catch up with Nigeria's baddest recording artist in this exclusive Q&A.
I was born 15th March 1989, the second child of three children, born and brought up in Bariga, Lagos State.
I get my inspiration from the street, the things I see every day and from God.
I couldn't really pick one song or album. All of my music comes from real life experiences so you could say all of my songs are soundtracks to my life, with a side of street lamba (slang). A message to all the hustlers, every one of them at a particular time is a soundtrack to my life.
Definitely Football!!!
I would invite Jay-Z, Beyonce, Barack Obama, Governor Ambode. I'd serve Eba and Egusi soup with fish. Haha!
I would definitely love to try my hand at driving a Trophy Truck, like what BJ Baldwin drives. I love the look of them, they are bold, monstrous and in your face!
Home! There is a feeling that you can’t explain when you are home. Even when I travel to the most exotic places in the world, after few days I start to miss home and want to go back. The people that matter the most to me are there and that is what makes it special to me.
That feeling of accomplishment after completing a big project. Saying a prayer of thanks.
I am sure it was to become rich, I'm not sure I bothered about how but I knew I just wanted to be rich.
To achieve! I am grateful for how far I have come but I am not there yet. ..
Lucky? I don’t think my story has anything to do with luck, to me it was simply grace and favour from God almighty, hard work and a lot of determination.
Always believe in yourself, work hard and pray!
