Nigerian music legend Olamide opened up like never before in a heartfelt conversation on the latest episode of Flow with Korty, offering fans a rare and intimate look into his personal journey, his grief, and the mindset that continues to drive his genre-defying artistry.
The interview on Flow with Korty, which aired on Sunday, August 3, 2025, peeled back the layers of the usually reserved Olamide. In one of the most touching moments, Olamide spoke openly about the loss of his parents, a pain he carries quietly despite the fame. “I miss being able to hear my mom’s voice and my dad’s voice,” he admitted, his voice heavy with emotion.
Reflecting on his father’s sacrifices, the superstar painted a vivid picture of a man who never let the weight of life burden his children. “He was stressing to make ends meet for us,” he said. “But I never for once saw his struggle. He never made it show.” It was an emotional tribute that revealed not just the artist, but the son behind the stage lights.
Olamide didn’t stop at family. The YBNL boss also used the platform to challenge the narrow ways people try to define him musically. “You can’t box me and call me a rap artiste,” he said with conviction. For him, music is limitless. “I love music. I want to do fuji or pop, or blues or R&B, I don’t care,” he added, reaffirming the fearless creativity that has shaped his career.
Known for seamlessly blending street anthems with global sounds, Olamide has long refused to be confined by genre or expectation. This latest interview only strengthens that image, of an artist who moves with purpose, emotion, and complete creative freedom.
In the end, what emerged from this candid conversation was not just a portrait of a superstar, but of a man grounded in his roots, scarred by personal loss, and unafraid to chase new sounds.
