Two of the biggest artistes in Nigeria, Wizkid and Olamide are set to hold their end of year concerts on the same date, December 23 at venues close to each other.
But one of them is far from worried that this clash may affect his show.
In an interview with Punch Newspaper, Olamide has expressed that Nigeria’s population is so huge that no one can take his crowd.
He says, “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 maintained that he had no idea the date Wizkid was going to pick. “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.”
Olamide also added that he holds no grudge against the National Broadcasting Commission for banning some of his songs. He said, “I don’t think it is possible to please everyone. Even in the Bible, there were people who didn’t like Jesus despite all the wonderful things He did.
“I am not trying to please anyone; I am just trying to make music. If you like my songs, it is okay. If it turns out that you don’t like it, it is cool too. I don’t feel NBC always targets me or my songs; I just feel they (officials) are doing their job.”
