Nigerian rapper and YBNL boss, Olamide has finally opened up on what inspired his May 2015 hit single, ‘Shakiti bobo’. In an interview with veteran filmmaker, Tunde Kelani a few weeks ago, Olamide disclosed that the title was motivated by a local nursery rhyme he grew up hearing in his Bariga neighborhood.



He also spoke on how he ventured into the music industry while revealing that King Sunny Ade, Jay Z, 2face and K1 De Ultimate are some of his mentors. The interview was conducted in Yoruba language by the prolific cinematographer who recently launched his online television channel.

Your music is only for the yoruba speaking folks, this interview says it all. So me i don't see any meaning to it cos I dont hear yoruba.

Of course you hear Yoruba but you don't understand it. Except someone is deaf that's when you can say you don't hear. We hear all languages but understand few of them. lol..
