Singer Olamide opens up about quitting music and what motivated his latest EP, Ikigai

Olamide Adedeji, widely recognized as Olamide Baddo, is a prominent rapper, singer, and recordowner who has established himself as one of the most enduring hip-hop artists in Nigeria’s music industry.

His latest release, titled Ikigai, has achieved remarkable success. Among the tracks featured in this project, two notable songs are Hello Habibi and Metaverse.

In a recent chat, Olamide opened up about his new album and the inspiration behind it after taking a nearly four-year break from music.

His last album before Ikigai was Carpe Diem, which dropped in 2020.

While talking with Too Xclusive, he revealed that he nearly walked away from music to concentrate more on songwriting.

The Nigerian artist disclosed in the discussion that he nearly abandoned his music career to concentrate primarily on songwriting.

Nevertheless, after considerable reflection and self-examination, he came to the conclusion that he could not cease creating music, as he felt that his life would lack meaning without it.

Olamide further explained the rationale behind naming his latest project Ikigai, a term derived from Japanese that signifies living a life of purpose.
