Olamide Launches Visual Art Brand, Shifts from Music

On September 25, Nigerian rap legend Olamide, also known as Adedeji and the boss of YBNL, announced the launch of his visual art brand titled "Alagemomerindinlogun by Olamide." This marks a significant creative shift from his established music career. The announcement was made via a dedicated Instagram page, where Olamide humorously presented himself as two separate entities, expressing impatience with his music project.

This playful approach generated considerable online discussion. Olamide has been influential in the Nigerian music scene, having built YBNL into a prominent label that has launched the careers of artists such as Asake, Fireboy DML, and Adekunle Gold.

Previously, in 2024, he had contemplated quitting music to focus on songwriting but ultimately realized his passion for music remained integral to his life. The announcement of his new venture received mixed reactions from fans, ranging from playful comments to genuine admiration.
