In the latest episode of the London 90 podcast, singer Bella Shmurda emphasized the pivotal role played by renowned rapper and YBNL Nation leader, Olamide, in shaping his musical journey.

Shmurda expressed that if questioned about the most influential figures in his life, he would prioritize mentioning Olamide over his own mother.

“If my children inquire about my greatest support, Olamide would come before my mother,” he affirmed.

Shmurda highlighted Olamide’s unique commitment to African music awards, citing him as the sole top-tier artist who maintains support for such platforms amid international success.

He contrasted Olamide’s dedication to others who prioritize events like the Grammys over regional accolades. Notably, Bella Shmurda’s breakthrough occurred following Olamide’s feature on the remix of his track ‘Vision 2020,’ catapulting him to fame.
