🔥💔 “I USED MY LAST KOBO TO RECORD ENI DURO” — Olamide Shares the PAINFUL STORY That Birthed YBNL 😳❤️
Before the Benz, the chains, and the stadium screams, Olamide was a young dreamer running from studio to studio in 2009, begging for just one chance — and hearing “NO” over and over again.
Doors kept slamming in his face. Money dried up. Hope almost faded.
Then he made a risky decision: he saved his very last kobo and recorded one song — Eni Duro.
That single track became the key that unlocked every gate he had been knocking on for years.
When the song finally blew, Olamide made a promise to himself: no one like him would ever be stranded again if he could help it.
That promise became YBNL.
He remembers it clearly:
Lil Kesh walked in with fire in his voice.
Adekunle Gold came with a guitar and a pure heart.
Fireboy arrived quiet, but overflowing with melody.
Looking at them, Olamide saw his own past staring back at him. His message was simple:
Stay true. Keep working. Never forget where you started.
Today, watching them shine on the biggest stages in the world, Olamide says it brings him more joy than any award he has ever won.
Yet many only see the flashy lifestyle and assume the journey was easy.
They don’t know about the hidden tears, the whispered prayers in the dark, the hungry nights, or the weight of every rejection that pushed him forward.
That’s why Olamide speaks directly to young dreamers:
“If a Bariga boy like me could rise, you can too. Hold your hustle tight and never stop moving.”
✨ This isn’t just a success story.
It’s a testimony, a blueprint, and a reminder that greatness is born in perseverance.
