    Olamide had his primary and secondary schools in Lagos before proceeding with his university education. It was while in the university that he developed a passion for music. He attended the Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijagun, where he studied Mass Communication. Regardless of his course of study, he decided to go for music, so it is safe to say that what he learned in the university did not shape him into the career path he is now. When asked why he chose music, Olamide responded that he found out he was highly gifted in it, so he decided to explore it. Meanwhile, it was recorded that he dropped out of the university due to financial constraints.<\/p>\n

It received wide critical acclaim and therefore launched him to the limelight.<\/p>\n

    He had subsequently dropped numerous singles, which continue to make waves in the country. Some of which include Apa Ti Jabo, Stupid Love, Omo To Shan, First of All, Yemi My Lover, Melo Melo, Matters Arising, Eleda Mi,<\/em> and many others.
