Legendary Nigerian singer Charles Oputa, known as Charly Boy, recently visited the newly renamed Olamide Baddo bus stop, formerly named after him.

In July, the Bariga Local Council Development Area rebranded the popular Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos after rapper and music executive Olamide. Chairman Kolade Alabi David announced this during the inauguration of infrastructural projects in the LCDA on Friday, July 25th.

Charly responded to the change, calling it interesting. He reminded the public that while a place can be renamed, a legacy cannot be erased. He emphasised that it’s not about a bus stop, but about the spirit of someone who refused to bow- someone who challenged oppressors and didn’t beg for acceptance. He added that only timid people change their names to hide shame.

He shared a video on Instagram showing himself visiting the renamed bus stop and laughed at those trying to intimidate him.

Despite the renaming, Charly stated he remains confident and unaffected by critics, continuing to move through life on his own terms.

He wrote on X, “My people, U can already guess where your Area Fada dey? Olamide Baddo Bus Stop! Yes o, na the same bus stop wey una sabi since… now na Baddo get am. Street na street, e no get age limit, abi?

"I just dey inside car dey laugh yeye people wey wan show Fada power. The Emperor of Nigeria go soon rename everywhere. Next thing, dem go name airport after one DJ, then call National Assembly ‘Comedy Central’. Yeye dey smell.

"For me? I still go dey fresh, I still dey cruise, and I still no send anybody wey no like am. Life too short to dey vex for bus stop name change, when I never chop. Dia Father’s”.
