Olamide: If you have problems, call God.. I’m only open for business

Olamide, the Nigerian rapper, has urged his fans to call on God to solve their problems.

In a Twitter post on Thursday, the rapper talked about God’s efficacy in solving problems while reciting a Quranic verse with its English translation.

Olamide, who is the founder of YBNL, the music label, however, stated that he is open to only business.

“There is no power nor strength, except by Allah, the Lofty, the great. If you have a problem call God oh! If you get business holla me🤞,” he wrote.

lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāhi l-ʿaliyyi l-ʿaẓīmi (There is no power nor strength except by Allah the Lofty, the Great). If you got a problem call God oh ! If you get business holla me 🤞🏾

The rapper has groomed a plethora of talented artistes like Adekunle God, Lil Kesh, Fireboy, Chinko Ekun and Asake under his label.

In 2020, YBNL signed a joint venture deal with Empire Distribution, a US record and music publishing company.

Following his incursion into the international market, Olamide had said: “Honestly, the level at which I am right now is very personal. I am just taking my creativity to the extreme, for my own good, and for my own sanity.

“I feel like I have been restricting myself all this while, and for my own mental health, it is high time to unbox myself and do everything I have ever dreamt of. In 2020, I feel like it is more of a rebirth year for me.

“I feel like a new artist. My new songs don’t sound like my old songs, maybe a few similarities. I feel like I am a new person entirely like I am just starting fresh. What I am on right now is beyond being the voice of the streets.”
