Yesterday, the 23rd of November 2025, made it ten years since released 鈥淒on鈥檛 Stop鈥, a dance-ready jam that compels a damsel not to quit dancing and have a good time. A decade later, Baddo (as he鈥檚 fondly called), hasn鈥檛 slowed down a bit. In the ten years since, he has released nine albums, become a music executive, signed global artists like Fireboy DML and Asake, and received Grammy nominations.
Olamide hasn鈥檛 stopped performing either. On the anniversary of 鈥淒on鈥檛 Stop鈥, the Afrobeats legend sold out OVO Arena Wembley and filled it up with his fans, passionately singing his lyrics back to him.
From his entrance and reunion with his former artists on stage to a tribute to an older Nigerian music legend, Olamide Baddo delivered an impressive to his audience in the UK.
Olamide鈥檚 grand entrance
In a bourgeois style, Olamide appeared on the OVO Arena Wembley stage: styled in a suit and pulled in a vintage car that looks like a 1958 Jaguar XK150. His entire entrance simply implied his 鈥渂ig-boy鈥 arrival in London. And like that old saying goes: When in Rome, act like Romans. Olamide Baddo cosplayed the wealthy corporate-lad Londoner look, while delivering jams straight out of Lagos, Nigeria.
The YBNL Mafia
Badoo brought out his former YBNL artists, such as Lil Kesh, Pheelz, and Asake 鈥 whom he rocked the stage with, performing songs like 鈥淪hoki鈥, 鈥淎mapiano鈥 and 鈥99鈥. Fireboy DML, who鈥檚 still signed to Olamide鈥檚 YBNL record label, was present, but didn鈥檛 perform.
Olamide and Asake
His performance with Asake extinguished the rumours and flames of bad blood. This is their first reunion on stage since Asake left YBNL. It was a significant moment that showcased Olamide’s admirable leadership and cordiality with his signees, both past and present.
Olamide brought more acts
Olamide鈥檚 artists weren’t the only ones present at the event. He had a lineup of established and rising stars, including Lojay, Joeboy, Seyi Vibez, Darkoo, Soundz, Ashidapo, and Daecolm (who featured on Olamide鈥檚 鈥99鈥).
Asake and Seyi Vibez
Asake and Seyi Vibez鈥檚 warm interaction at Olamide鈥檚 Wembley show puts to rest the gossip that both artists aren’t friendly.
This was one of their rare interactions, coming after two years of comparisons due to their Fuji and Islamic music influences, and street style. At some point, fans of both have accused one of imitating the other, often leading stan wars on social media platforms like X and Instagram.
Hopefully a collaboration soon, good sirs?
Olamide checked on fan
Olamide stopped the music while performing to ask security to check on a fan who wasn鈥檛 looking well.
He threw shots
In the middle of performing 鈥淟ambebe鈥, the jam he made with music producer Major Bangz in 2014, Olamide took a breather, leaving the multitude to sing.
The whole arena sang and echoed the lyrics to the song. It was an infectious head-swell moment that prompted Olamide to say, before he jumped to perform 鈥淪tupid Love鈥, that: 鈥淲on de wi pe baba iya won ni fans. Won ni sorire.鈥 His statement is subliminal and a brag to anyone who thinks he has fallen off, to come and see him on a big stage, with thousands of fans in London, singing his old and new jams, word for word.

Special nod to Fuji music
Olamide paid a heartwarming tribute to Fuji music by performing renditions of some Fuji hit songs. He did a rendition of Pasuma鈥檚 鈥淚mporter and Exporter鈥 and Wasiu K1 Ayinde鈥檚 鈥淥mo Naija.鈥
He also performed Obesere鈥檚 鈥淥sha Mo Condition Ti Mo Wa鈥 from the Fuji legend鈥檚 Life In Europe album. These moments exemplify the impact and current resurgence of Fuji in contemporary Nigerian music.
Olamide turned the concert into a Tungba gathering and even told the audience to take off their jackets and dance.
Olamide performed an unreleased
Another special treat here as Olamide performed an unreleased love song, before he segued into 鈥淩ock鈥, another romance single in his discography.
He performed OG hits too
Olamide performed his old hot songs such as 鈥淪tupid Love鈥, 鈥淢otigbana鈥, 鈥淢elo Melo鈥, 鈥淭he Money鈥 featuring Davido, and 鈥淲o鈥 (the show鈥檚 closer).
Reactions
From fans to music critics and industry veterans like Joey Akan, Ayomide Tayo (AOT2) to ID Cabasa, the praise of Olamide is a current conversation.
