Nigerian rap icon Olamide has shed light on his relationship with fellow Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

Speaking in a recent interview with Adesope Live, Olamide—popularly known as Baddo—described the trio as his friends but humorously admitted that they are “just too troublesome.”

“Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy are all my friends, they are just too troublesome. They are cool dudes; it’s just that sometimes many can’t align on so many things and that’s fine,” he said.

Olamide also weighed in on the frequently debated Afrobeats “Big 3” ranking, which typically features Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy. According to him, he has no issues with being left out of the list, emphasizing that his main focus has always been on making music rather than chasing tags.

With over a decade of influence in the Nigerian music industry, Olamide remains one of the most respected figures in Afrobeats and hip-hop, even as conversations around the “Big 3” continue to spark debate among fans.
