Nigerians Vs. Black Americans: How Wale And Olamide’s Photo Ignited A Social Media War

Olamide-Wale-Make-Us-Proud-Art
American rapper Wale is a big deal in Nigeria where he is from, especially among the young entertainers including Olamide, Nigeria’s biggest rapper, who draws a lot of inspiration from mainstream hip hop and mixes it with his Yoruba dialect and sound.
Wale turned up in Lagos, Nigeria over the weekend to join his friends as they celebrated the wedding of one of Nigeria’s youngest entertainment moguls who is also a pilot, Tunde Demuren.


At the wedding, Wale took photos of himself hanging out with Ciroc ambassador, Olamide amongst other top Nigerian celebrities. Now the trouble started when Wale posted the photos on his Instagram. Having broken out with his career in America, after being discovered by Jay Z, Wale’s music attracts a huge black American audience as well as other demographics.
