Olamide, a well-known Nigerian rapper and music executive, has won over hearts online after getting in touch with a budding artist who painted a lovely portrait of his family.
The YBNL boss, his wife, and their children are depicted in a recent painting shared on Twitter by an artist going by the handle Shoreyarts.
The artist asked internet users to help him retweet the piece of art until it reached Olamide in his post.

Oddly enough, Olamide came across the piece of art and was awestruck by the artist’s talent and imagination. He messaged the artist directly and asked for his phone number.
The artist took to social media to post screenshots of his conversation with Olamide after being overcome with gratitude and excitement.
He noted that just as he was about to give up, the superstar sent him a surprise direct message.
He composed;
“Just when I’m about to give up, Baddo texts me… @Olamide I’ll be forever grateful, sir… my life has changed. Oh God, I’m truly shocked!”
