In the vibrant world of Nigerian entertainment, few stories reflect the power of talent and mentorship as much as the collaboration between Jimoh Lateef Agbalaya popularly known as Jiron, the Kwara-born entertainer, and Olamide Badoo, one of Africa’s finest music icons.
For Jiron, this partnership was nothing short of a dream come true. Olamide, widely known for his unmatched musical prowess, embraced Jiron’s talent without hesitation or demands. In an industry where collaborations often come with a hefty price tag, Olamide proved himself a true kingmaker, offering his support purely out of admiration for Jiron’s potential.
“I didn’t even have the whole day to sit with Olamide in the studio,” Jiron recalls. “I dropped my verse, and he handled the rest with ease. When I heard his verse, it was magic. He killed it.”
Olamide’s influence didn’t end in the studio. Despite juggling a packed schedule and various projects, he made time for Jiron’s video shoot, helmed by none other than Clarence Peters, Nigeria’s celebrated cinematographer and video director. “Working with Clarence was a blessing. He made everything easy and remarkable,” Jiron shares, adding that he remains indebted to both Olamide and Clarence for their support.
Olamide’s unwavering belief in Jiron’s talent goes beyond the collaboration. He encouraged Jiron to keep promoting his craft, solidifying his reputation as an artist who uplifts others. In Jiron’s words, “Olamide is not just a great artist—he’s a kingmaker with a kind heart.”
This collaboration serves as a reminder of the importance of mentorship in the entertainment industry. With the backing of a legend like Olamide and the brilliance of Clarence Peters, Jiron is on the cusp of greatness, ready to take the industry by storm.
