For the
first time, Wizkid and Olamide have decided to hold their December shows on the
same day.
In a chat
with Sunday Scoop, Olamide confirmed the news, which had been circulating on
social media. He said, “It is true that
the two shows will happen on the same day. The population of Nigeria is huge
and everyone cannot fill up one event centre.”
The
rapper-turned-singer also insisted that Wizkid’s show would not affect the
success of his own show. “I believe the sky is big enough for all birds to fly
without touching each other. I honestly don’t feel there will be any negative
effect. If you switch on your television set, I am sure you have many options;
so, it is left for you to decide which station you stay tuned to. That is how I
see things,” he said.
Olamide
maintained that he didn’t have any inkling the date of Wikzid’s show would
clash with his own. He said, “I am not living in his (Wizkid) mind, but I don’t
think anyone has an issue with it and I am sure we will both make good money
from the shows.”
Olamide also
stated that he held no grudge against the National Broadcasting Commission for
banning some of his songs. He said, “I don’t think it is possible to please
everyone. Even in the Bible, there were people who didn’t like Jesus despite
all the wonderful things He did.
“I am not
trying to please anyone; I am just trying to make music. If you like my songs,
it is okay. If it turns out that you don’t like it, it is cool too. I don’t
feel NBC always targets me or my songs; I just feel they (officials) are doing
their job.”
