Olu maintain reputation as a musician may have soared; following the release of his hit single entitled ‘Yahoozey’ but his attitude has not placed him in the good books of close friends and colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
A lot of people are complaining that the Ondo State born musician has an attitude problem. Sources disclosed that a Disc Jockey who is respected in the industry has also joined the league of people condemning Olu’s character. “This is a DJ who hardly talks, for him to have also joined in condemning Olu’s attitude that means the guy really needs to change.
Born Olumide Edward Adegbolu, the diminutive artiste regained prominence after several years of trying to make a hit. He used to be a member of a group known as maintain before it broke up.The group was also dissed by Ruggedman, a rapper who claimed they lacked creativity.
Yahoozey, the hit single he released in 2007 brought him back to limelight. He made so much money that he is regarded as one of Nigeria’s most flamboyant hip hop musicians right now.He drives state of the art vehicles such as Chrysler and Hummer jeep.Right now,Olu Maintain is considered as one of the top 5 by event organisers.
One of his friends who spoke under the condition of anonymity told http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ that Olu's unpalatable attitude to people around him is not because of his sudden rise to stardom. “He has always been like that since I knew him more than five years ago,I don’t believe those who are saying it is because of his new found popularity among music lovers", were the words of the source.
Another one told me, he should be kind to other people coming around him. He should remember that some years back when he was not making it. “The day he was traveling to London about four years ago with his former group members, his people came all the way from Ondo State. They followed him to the airport and even offered prayers there. Now that he is a big boy, he should tread softly”, said the source
