News as being going viral for the past few months now ,that
fast rising yoruba rap olamide likely to signed to d’banj db Records.
Olamide turned down the Koko master’s offer, preferring to
roll alone for now.
Olamide, who does not want to play the fool at this phase of
his career, politely told D’Banj that he was not ready to surrender some of his
powers, especially having to be booked for shows only by D’Banj’s management
outfit, pleaded for time to even think about the offer as he still wants to
work with his present team and taking things as they come for now.
He believes that for now, there is nothing D’BANJ could do
for him that he can’t do by himself.
In the future, I will consider his offer. If anybody wants
me, he should have unfettered access to me. I am just starting out in the
profession’, he allegedly told close friends.
“Apparently, he would have been blocked from having direct
access to his clients and that will reduce his share from his appearance fees.
He does not like the bottle necks and some terms that will make it difficult
for him to be reached all because D’Banj wants his value to rise. That may
happen, but what eventually gets to Olamide will be peanuts”, A source
disclosed to Tribune when asked why the deal was botched.
He added that the success that Olamide is enjoying now informed
his decision to opt out of the deal because there is nothing, apart from
management offer, that he stands to benefit from.
“Olamide can be easily reached by anybody and his fees are
still okay. The moment he signs the deal, he will be getting fewer shows,
though huge fees, but will lose many of his grassroot fans to the elitist crowd
D’Banj belongs” he added.
Since D’Banj couldn’t have the “Ode Lon Like” crooner, he
has reportedly reached out to Durella.
Do you think Olamide made a wise decision?!
