In a tweet, Regha stated: "Olamide has impacted many artists’ careers, then went ahead to elevate, mentor, & inspire some new-generation artists; When it comes to paving the way for his colleagues, no one from his set comes close, but he’s barely given due credit. The rate at which people belittle his impact is upsetting."
Regha lamented the lack of recognition Olamide receives for paving the way for his peers, asserting that despite his unparalleled impact, he is frequently sidelined. His comments resonated with netizens who agreed that Olamide's contributions are often underestimated.
In the comments section, users echoed Regha's sentiments, praising Olamide for his selfless dedication to music and supporting emerging talents. Some remarked on Olamide's humility and steadfast commitment to his craft, contrasting it with the disrespect they perceive from newer artists.
