They uploaded videos of themselves singing or rapping. Then, the videos with the most likes were shortlisted.

The year also saw the release of a fourth studio album – Street OT, the second in a one year period and now his first ever Nigerian concert, OLIC, Olamide Live in Concert.

This first of its kind dramatic concert “promises to change the way concerts are planned and produced”, said Omoh Talabi, the concert curator.
