<i><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> "Photoshop
is fun; I love the way it makes people laugh and the attention I get. I do not
like to be the ordinary guy; I like to be known for something. I made a picture
of me hugging Tiwa Savage from behind and when I posted it on Instagram; I was
overwhelmed by people’s response. I decided to continue with it and as time
went on, bloggers started writing about me, people started talking about it and
that increased my fan base. It has helped me meet people that have assisted me
with my music career."</span></i></div>

<b>CAREER AND LIFE</b> <b> </b><br />
<br />
In 2014, he released his version of One Direction's 'Story Of My Life",
which he titled 'SADE'. This song enjoyed massive airplay and got him signed to
YBNL.<br />
<br />
When he released Sade, Fuse and the rest of the YBNL crew listened to it and
fell in love with it. Fuse insisted Olamide should sign him with the group. He
thought about it and because of the good relationship they have, he called him
and they discussed the terms. He wanted to feign reluctance when he was told
the terms of the contract but he could not help his excitement because it was a
good offer.<br />
He mentioned in an interview about him being in the ybnl crew even before
getting signed to the label, he said he has been working with Olamide for a
long time, He designed the YBNL logo, he did a couple designs for the label
before he got signed.<br />
<br />
Later in 2015 Adekunle released abother single under YBNL titled
"Orente", the song was quite accepted by fans and was quite a hit
same year.<br />
Adekunle’s two singles were heavy on storytelling. They both take listeners
through a tale of romance, which has been instrumental in the success of both
singles. In contrast, the rest of the YBNL artistes are pacy rappers. The
singer believes that there is a connection between his genre and indigenous
rap.<br />
<br />
<b>When  asked about the inspiraton and the success of his hit 
single Sade, he said;</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
<i>The song is my story. I asked a girl named Sade, out on a date three years
ago but she didn’t accede to my request. She said she was not ready even though
I really liked her. The song is about her and everything I narrated in the song
is true, aside from the part where I said my parents were disturbing me. That
did not happen.</i><br />
<i><br />
It’s been amazing how people accepted the song. Sade is everywhere on the
streets and in homes. I’m really excited about it. It is one song I never knew
would be a hit. People say the lifespan of a hit song in Nigeria is three
months; I released it in December 2014 and it is more than three months old
already. I feel loved and God has proven to me that He will always be with me.
I have always wanted to be heard.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;">

his two hit singles which also gained a lot views in 2015 as the singer video
style is loved by many people the singer will definitely say 2015 was a great
year for him. <br />
