Olamide Endorses Wizkid’s Son Boluwatife, Sparks Excitement Over Starboy Collaboration
Nigerian music heavyweight Olamide has shown support for Boluwatife Balogun, the 14-year-old son of Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, by reposting a video of the teenager performing — a move that has set social media buzzing with excitement and speculation about his musical future.
The endorsement comes just days after reports revealed Wizkid’s plans to officially sign his son to Starboy Entertainment, hinting at what could be a historic father-son collaboration in the Afrobeats scene.
Boluwatife, who has previously shown interest in music, appeared confident and charismatic in the video — traits that fans quickly linked to his father’s superstar aura. Olamide’s repost not only amplifies the young talent’s visibility but also reflects his reputation for spotting and supporting rising stars.
Interestingly, a few hours after endorsing Boluwatife, Olamide shared a TikTok video of himself dancing to Adekunle Gold’s “Many People” from the newly released Fuji album. Fans interpreted the gesture as his way of diffusing recent tensions surrounding Adekunle Gold’s remarks about his YBNL exit — a subtle but classy show of maturity and unity in the industry.
💭 Opinion: Olamide’s Endorsement Is More Than Just a Gesture — It’s a Message to the Industry
Olamide’s quiet nod to Boluwatife isn’t just about promoting a friend’s son — it’s a reminder of what true leadership in music looks like. While others chase charts, Olamide continues to build bridges, nurture talent, and uphold camaraderie in an industry often divided by ego.
His support for Wizkid’s son shows how collaboration, not competition, can shape the next generation of Afrobeats. Imagine the symbolism: Wizkid’s son stepping into the spotlight with blessings from one of Nigeria’s most respected artists — a passing of the torch that echoes the unity fans have long desired among Afrobeats giants.
Beyond the virality of the moment, this is a beautiful snapshot of legacy, growth, and mutual respect — one that reminds us that Afrobeats isn’t just a sound; it’s a movement built on community, culture, and continuity.
If Boluwatife truly steps into the Starboy fold, with Olamide cheering from the sidelines, we may just be witnessing the dawn of the next generation of African music royalty.
