Olamide
Nigerian artist, Olamide aka badoo took to social media to lambast a fan who requested for a car to start a taxi business.
Commenting under the YBNL boss’s post, the fan asked the rapper for some money to start his bold business –which is a popular taxi business.
The rapper, ostensibly enraged by the comment asked the fan if he had given him any money to keep for him, concluding by making a remark which netizens perceive to be a jibe at the fan’s mum.

“Olamide, ur fan Oluwaseun only requested u assist him in purchasing a car so he can become a taxi driver & hustle for his daily bread; He didn’t impose. U are arguably rich, if u can help him kindly oblige but don’t make a mockery of him cos it takes guts for one to ask for help.”
