Big Brother Hotshots Day 7: Olamide and Phyno on stage tonight

As we geared up for tonight’s live show and paced ourselves for the first set of possible evictions we looked forward to electric performances by hip hop act and rapper extraordinaires. This was going to be a live show to get the game cracking.

The Big Brother Africa live show stage was no small feat and so were the various artists that were invited to entertain. With a reach throughout the continent artists who perform on this stage enjoy multi-billions worth in exposure.

Tonight Nigeria will be fittingly represented by rappers Olamide and Phyno who had a significant following in west Africa.

While they are independent artists in their own right, they often won the hearts of fans and audiences for their performances together as they both laced lyrical in their Nigerian mother tongues.

Olamide’s latest musical offering was Street OT which is doing well. This year he collected a knod from the MTV Africa Music Awards as well as the Nigerian Entertainment Awards for Best Hip Hop and Best Rap Act.

Phyno came out with his first studio album No Guts No Glory. His single Ghost Mode in which he collaborated with Olamide is crowd favourite.

Olamide’s Yoruba verses and Phyno’s Igbo expressions have received critical acclaim and are fast positioning themselves as hip hop ambassadors for Nigeria.
