OLAWALE SERIKI AND PARTNERSThe Nigerian rapper Olawale Seriki explained in an interview his relationships with his current and former partners. Few years ago, Seriki was close to the singer Wizkid and they even did a song together, “Life’s bond”, which was a success and kept the top ranks in various radio stations.

The rapper said that he cannot say that Wizkid is a very good friend. Seriki made a clear effort for the Azonto movement. He revealed that he wanted to take his rap skills to the high level since he does not want to be an ordinary artist. He does not want to rap and get his fans bored. He makes music that persons can flow and grove with. The interests of Olawale Seriki are to make music that mix well with all kinds of music. Since there is no artist from Nigeria that tried Azonto rap, Seriki wanted to be different and is still looking forward to pushing his rap game higher. He is thinking about hitting the international market since he wants his raps to cross borders. He wishes, in the close future, to launch his own record label in order to help other artists.

Since he is now away from that life, he misses some things but he is still a guy from the hood since no one can take it out of him.
