Olamide Teases Fans With Hints of an Upcoming Project

Olamide just dropped some major tea, and we’re here for it. The Grammy-nominated rapper and YBNL boss is cooking up something exciting, and fans are already buzzing.

If you’ve been vibing to his recent freestyle, Idan Buruku, you know it was straight fire. But some fans had one tiny issue—it was too short. One bold fan didn’t hold back, tweeting their frustration. Olamide’s response? Pure gold: “You’d have to wait for Ikigai Vol. 2… almost here.” Cue the hype!

Now, if you’re wondering what Ikigai means, it’s a Japanese word for “a reason to live.” And trust me, the first volume gave us every reason to keep it on repeat. Tracks like Metaverse, Habibi, and the electric Uptown Disco featuring Asake and Fireboy were total gems.

This isn’t just another EP; it’s a statement. Ikigai is Olamide’s 10th solo project, and it captures his genius for staying ahead of the curve. From street anthems to cultural moments, the guy’s been killing it for over a decade.

But hold up—this isn’t the only reason Olamide’s been trending. In 2024, he blessed us with collabs alongside Shallipopi, Zlatan, Khaid, Alpha P, and Gimba. More recently, he teamed up with the Antiworld Gangsters for another banger. He’s been everywhere, and we’re loving it!

Let’s not forget the boss moves. Olamide’s YBNL label has been a superstar factory, giving us legends like Fireboy, Adekunle Gold, Asake, and Lil Kesh. This man is not just a rapper; he’s a game-changer.
