Nigerian music star Olamide Baddo, 36, has said his colleague Wizkid, 35, is older than him in the music industry.
The duo gained prominence in 2010 with Wizkid gaining popularity with ‘Holla AT Your Boy’ released in January, and Olamide hitting the reckoning with ‘Eni Duro’ a few months later.
They were also both nominated in the Next Rated category at the 2011 Headies Awards, which Wizkid won.
Consequently, the popular notion has been that they are industry mates.
However, in a recent interview with streamer Azeeez, Olamide clarified that Wizkid is older than him in the music industry with about two years.
“Wizkid and I didn’t start doing music at the same time. He started a year or two before me, he was already putting out music before I came,” Olamide stated.
It would be recalled that Wizkid was earlier featured in ace rapper M.I’s hit single ‘Fast Money/Fast Cars’ in 2008, about two years before he became famous.
