Came to Lagos from uni in my 300L and met Oladips the very first day I touched down and since then we kicked it…
Remember recording “Hunt” in 2020 and he refused to collect a single dime from the royalties…we had a lot more in store…
OLADIPS LIVES ON!!! ❤️❤️❤️— HOTYCE (@iamhotyce) November 15, 2023
Sending prayer, love and light to his family and loved ones. May his soul rest in peace.
