The kind of Bromance going on between Phyno and Olamide in the Nigerian Music Industry is something that has never happened before, two A-list artistes or '2 Kings' as they have chosen to be called in their last collaboration album. Two Kings who have both individual successful songs, albums, concerts and endorsements coming together to not just make hits together, but to support each other as they both seek to climb higher the ladder in their career.
Olamide most definitely made Phyno have an increased number of fans amongst the Yoruba speaking part of Nigeria, while Phyno on the other hand has given Olamide an increased number of fans amongst the Igbo speaking part of Nigeria as well. And two of them have given Nigeria a joint love and voice to speak with, not just musically but in terms of business and friendship.
Although their bromance has attracted some negative comments from some fans and critics, some saying that there may be more to both of them than just brotherly love, love for music and business. We really don't care what people think or say is responsible for holding them and keeping their bond strong, in fact whatever it is keeping them should never stop because we don't want to see a 'Jay Z and Kanye West' happen in our beloved country, Nigeria.
Olamide was present at Phyno's second edition of Phynofest, to show him all the love and support like a brother. Phyno on the other hand have been at all Olamide's major concerts both In Nigeria and Abroad. I for one is expecting another album from these two, and possibly a joint concert where only both of them would headline. And to ask who is a better rapper? For someone like me who understands both the Igbo and the Yoruba Language very well, I would say both of them were born to do music. They're both dope and it would be hard to say who is better than who.
