Nigerian rap icon Olamide Adedeji, better known mononymously as Olamide, on Saturday, delivered a blockbuster performance at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, selling out the 12,500-capacity venue in a night packed with nostalgia, energy, and surprise cameos.
The concert turned into a YBNL reunion with Olamide bringing out several of his proteges, Asake, Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, Pheelz, and Bella Shmurda, much to the delight of the audience.
Together, they powered through a sprawling setlist that spanned dozens of tracks, culminating in a 50-song marathon that felt like a celebration of YBNL Nation’s legacy.
Fans were not only treated to Olamide’s classic anthems like Wo!!, Shakiti Bobo, and Eru, but also to fresh moments of collaboration with his YBNL signees, making the gig feel like a family affair.
