Sharp Businessman! Olamide Acquires Fuel Station

Forget what you see on his Instagram page, rapper Olamide aka daddymiliano is a businessman to the core.

If the news making the rounds is anything to go by, the Awon goons mi crooner is the owner of the popular Rain oil filling station located at Ladilak bus stop, Bariga, Lagos. Though we haven’t confirmed yet, sources have it that Olamide indeed owns this station which happens to be in the area he grew up . He supposedly came about this station after adhering to caution from his mother to reduce his lavish spending and invest more.

Not to forget, the YBNL boss launched his own clothing line Baddo Unlimited urban clothing in January with a range of T-shirts sold on Nigerian retail giants Konga and Jumia sites (Read here if you missed the story). Guess the rapper is taking his mothers advice seriously.

Lets hope other celebrities are also investing their money wisely and not just flaunting it on social media.

REVIEW: ‘Dorosh*t’ Was The Mavins’ Performance At The AMVCAs

I won’t spare them the venom in my tongue on this one because when you’re arguably the biggest label in Africa, you do not come out looking like a bunch of total flukes in an elaborate mock-show of what was the biggest record of the entire Nigerian entertainment since it’s inception.

The recently concluded AMVCA had a couple pitfalls and by a stroke of happenstance, the Mavins’ and their whatchamommacallit performance of Dorobucci happened to be atop the list.

OMG x 7!!!

It was drab, it was dreary, witheringly scornful, awfully uninspiring and pretty much forgettable……read more
