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.

Veteran music producer, Olumide Ogunade, popularly known ID Cabasa, in an interview with Olaitan Ganiu spoke on the origination of his record label Coded Tunes and how he discovered hip hop star Olamide.Read the excerpts below -
Professionally, when did you start your career? “I started as a teenager way back in the late 80s. I was in the secondary school while also doing music by the side.
“But, professionally, it was around 2003 after I left the university. I worked in a corporate company for a while before I left to fully focus on music production.”
Is that when you started Coded Tunes Record?
“I started Coded Tunes production in my house in 2003. But before Coded Tunes, we had a clique called, The Smiling Head Soldier which was headed by 2phat.“It comprises me, 2phat, Lord of Ajasa and MC Spako.
And then, we used to havea lot of squads coming to make beat in my studio.“There was this massive squad called, Yabtown Squad which is where Reminisce originated from.“It is a clique of both rappers and singers and some of them were my juniors in secondary school.
“From there, we decided to gather momentum and create something larger than just being Smiling Head Soldier or Yabtown Squad.“And obviously the name of the studio that unites us is Coded Tunes. So, that was how we started Coded Tunes.
”How did you discover Olamide?“
Olamide came with a friend to record in my studio; a friend was featuring him.“I fell in love with the young boy of 13 or 14 as he delivered his rap line. I cou.ld hear a depth that you won’t get from most of his age mates.
“I was so impressed that I told him that he’s free to come to my studio at any time.“He will come to the studio, then I will make beat while is writing his lyrics.
“From there, the interest to have him as part of Coded Tunes developed and the rest is history.“By the time Coded Tunes transited to a proper recording label, Olamide was the first person signed alongside Seriki and Kayefi.
”You’ve been a blessing to many big stars of today. Do you receive accolades for this?
“I will say I’m one of the few lucky ones that got the accolade that I deserve.
“In fact, I get more accolades than I think I deserve because all of those I’ve workedwith till date are still much loyal to our friendship and some of them still mentionmy name in their interviews.“Last year, 9ice titled his album after me. Olamide still doesn’t believe we are in a way apart.
He doesn’t see me as ID Cabasa who justproduces beats for him but rather sees me as his father and always consults me at any of his projects.
We still play and dothings together.“The same goes for Reminisce, Seriki and every other guy, even the ones that are not part of Coded Tunes family which I’ve worked with.“They still appreciate me; the likes of Banky W, Ruggedman, Durella and co.”

Though Olamide has explained severally that his latest smash hit song"Science Students" is aimed at fighting drug abuse, the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) has slammed a Not-To-Be-Broadcast (NTTB) warning on the song.
The warning was served to all radio and television stations last week. Confirming the news, NBC’s Head of Public Affairs Hajia Maimuna Jihada told Tribune that the song was not out-rightly banned but prohibited from being played on local stations for public consumption.
She said: NBC does not ban music. Our mandate is on what goes on Radio and TV. Olamide’s Science Student has been declared ‘Unfit for broadcast’.
She further went on to mention that the song’s subtle promotion of illegal drugs was the main reason for declaring it unlawful as she issued a stern warning to all broadcasting houses; We have communicated all our licensees for compliance or they will face sanctions
