  • Having my show on the same day with Wizkid has no negative effect- Olamide

    Nigerian pop stars, Wizkid and Olamide are no doubt kings in their own music domains. However for the first time, the artistes have decided to hold their December concerts on the same day which has sparked various reactions from their fans.

     

    In a chat with Punch, Olamide noted that it will not portend any negative effect.

     

    “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.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.

    When asked If he had an inkling about the date Wizkid chose, Olamide 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.”
