Nigerian singer Khaid has shared a heartfelt account of the support he received from music executive and rapper Olamide, revealing that the YBNL boss played a far deeper role in his early journey than many may have known.

Speaking in a recent video, the 21-year-old artiste, born Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, reflected on his relationship with Olamide and described him in deeply personal terms. According to him, the veteran hitmaker was more than just an industry mentor, referring to him affectionately as “dad” while explaining how much guidance and care he received during challenging moments in his life.

Khaid disclosed that one of the most impactful gestures from Olamide was his financial intervention during his struggling years. He stated that the music star took care of his accommodation expenses for a significant period, saying Olamide covered his rent for two years. The revelation paints a picture of support that extended beyond music and studio sessions, reaching into the personal welfare of the young artist as he tried to find his footing in the entertainment industry.

Before gaining mainstream attention, Khaid’s journey began in Lagos, where he navigated a modest upbringing while nurturing his passion for music. His eventual breakthrough came after he signed with Neville Records, a move that helped introduce him to a wider audience through songs like “Jolie” and “Annabella.” Since then, he has steadily carved out a space for himself within the Afrobeats landscape, gaining recognition as one of the rising voices of his generation.

Olamide, on the other hand, has long been regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern Nigerian music. Through his label YBNL Nation, he has built a reputation not only as a successful artist but also as a talent developer who invests in emerging acts. Over the years, his mentorship has contributed to the rise of several prominent musicians, strengthening his legacy beyond his own discography.

Khaid’s acknowledgment reflects the importance of mentorship in the industry, showing how established artists often play subtle but meaningful roles in shaping the paths of emerging talents. For him, the experience seems to have had a lasting impact, both personally and in his career, as he continues to develop his craft and identity as an artist.
