Osimhen reveals why Olamide is his best Nigerian singer

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has disclosed that music sensation Olamide is his best Nigerian music artiste.

Also known by the nickname ‘Badoo', Olamide Gbenga Adedeji is a Nigerian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record executive.

Since he debuted in the Nigerian music scene in 2010, Olamide remains of the most influential artistes in Africa.

He records in Yoruba and English, and has been instrumental to the launching of the careers of several Afrobeats music stars.

The singer released his first album titled ‘Rapsodi’ in 2011, delivering sensational rap in most of the tracks.

And Osimhen, who grew up in Lagos, acknowledged this in a chat with Pooja Media and Communications.

The forward, who led Napoli to their first Serie A title in over three decades, added that Olamide’s songs inspire him before matches.

He told Pooja:

“Before I go to the stadium, I listen to Olamide’s rap. You know, there are some kinds of raps he’s done in recent years that are really inspirational to me. Olamide is my best musician in Nigeria and I have his playlist that I listen to.”

Osimhen scored twice as the Super Eagles beat Seirra Leone 3-2 at Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Monrovia on Sunday evening, June 18.

The victory means Jose Peseiro’s men have secured their slot for the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast next year.
