Baddo Stans Are NOT Playing: Fans Drop a Hit List After “Disrespect” Allegations, and the Comments Are Chaos
Just when we thought the Olamide vs P-Square debate had cooled down, one tweet reignited the whole thing this time from the Badoo side, and they came with receipts.
User @Bobranking21 didn’t hold back: “Omo the disrespect for Badoo don too much on this app oh Make I list small hits from King Olamide make una remember..” Translation: enough is enough, and it’s time for a reminder of exactly who they’re talking about.
Why Badoo Fans Are This Protective
If you’ve been following Nigerian music Twitter this week, you already know the temperature. Since the Olamide vs P-Square “who deserves the crown” debate went viral, timelines have been split into camps some crowning P-Square for global reach and duo dominance, others insisting nobody touches Olamide’s cultural footprint. And clearly, some Badoo loyalists feel their guy’s résumé has been getting disrespected in the crossfire.
So here’s the thing: they’re not entirely wrong to be defensive, because Olamide’s catalogue genuinely speaks for itself.
The Actual Hit List (For Anyone Who Forgot)
Fifteen-plus years deep into a career that started with “Eni Duro” in 2010, Olamide’s discography reads less like a rapper’s résumé and more like a Nigerian music history syllabus. A few reminders, in case anybody needs the refresher Badoo fans are demanding:
“Bobo” — widely considered one of his biggest records, off Eyan Mayweather
“Durosoke” — the Baddest Guy Ever Liveth smash that scooped its own set of awards
“Story for the Gods” — the street anthem that carried Street OT
“Wo!!” — a hood-born record that transcended its target audience and became a genuine national hit
“Science Student” — a Shaku Shaku-era staple that stayed in rotation for months
“Omo To Shan” and “Kana” — two generational Wizkid collaborations released seven years apart, both hits in their own right
“Summer Body” (featuring Davido) and “Melo Melo” proof he could cross into pure party-pop territory whenever he wanted
And that’s before even mentioning his run as a kingmaker YBNL Nation has launched or elevated careers including Asake, Fireboy DML, Adekunle Gold, and Lil Kesh, cementing Olamide’s influence well beyond his own solo catalogue.
The Bigger Picture
This is the pattern with any “vs” debate involving a legacy act someone always feels the numbers are being underplayed, and someone always shows up to correct the record with an actual list. It happened during the initial Olamide vs P-Square arguments, and now it’s happening again with fans policing what they see as disrespect toward “King Olamide” specifically.
Whether or not you agree the disrespect was real, one thing’s clear: Badoo’s fanbase isn’t letting anyone rewrite his legacy without a fight in the replies.
Wahala Network Take
Fifteen years, a stacked discography, multiple Headies Album of the Year wins, and a label that’s minted several of Afrobeats’ biggest current stars say what you want, but that’s not a résumé anybody should be casually disrespecting on an app. Badoo fans clearly agree, and they came prepared.
This debate isn’t cooling down anytime soon. Stay locked in.
