Wande Coal and rap rave of the moment
Olamide are currently not on speaking
terms. The brouhaha is believed to have
started back in late 2012 when Olamide
released his YBNL album.
On the track titled ‘Picture’, Olamide rapped
about not letting his guard down when it
comes to interacting with obsessed female
fans.‘Oloso (prostitutes) thinking of how to
ruin me, but I know what I’m doing/they
want to Wande Coal me, they want to Davido
me,’ he rapped. Both Wande Coal and Davido
have been involved in controversies over
n**e/half n**e photos purportedly leaked
by women.
Wande Coal, we are told, was not impressed
by Olamide’s reference to the incident.
Months later, when Ice Prince was recording
songs for his Fire of Zamani album, he called
on Wande Coal, Yung L and Olamide to
feature on a track called ‘Gimme dat’. Wande
Coal had wrapped up his verse when he
found out Olamide would also be featured
on the song.
Sources say Wande wasn’t pleased with that
and asked that he should not be featured on
the same track with Olamide. Ice Prince, we
are told, was forced to take Wande Coal’s
verse off the song and replace it with a
verse from Burna Boy.
The song, produced by Chopstix, was
released for digital download on April 24,
2013. Interestingly, a previous version of the
song, which featured Wande Coal’s verse,
leaked on theinternet four months later,
August 23, 2013.
