Temmie Ovwasa Wages War With Olamide

November 01, (THEWILL) – It doesn’t look like the rancour between Yahoo Boy No Laptop Nation boss and indigenous rap artist, Olamide Adedeji, who is simply known as Olamide, and his former signee, Temmie Ovwasa, will be coming to an end anytime soon. It all began last year after the artist accused Olamide of cruelty. She accused Olamide of ruining her hope of becoming a successful music star after abandoning her in his house.

Temmie, who is a self confessed lesbian expressed her displeasure with the way she was treated by Olamide, questioning his motive for taking her away from her parents on the pretext of rendering some help only to end up making her unproductive and redundant for five years. She said that in five years, she only recorded four singles and four videos, which were never released by her record label for reasons best known to Olamide.

Temmie claimed that she was restricted from performing at events and shows. She also accused Olamide of using his fans to bully her into silence, but insists that she would continue to shout even if her voice is not loud enough. As expected, her outburst generated mixed reactions from fans of the two parties. Some blame her for not addressing the issues with her former boss properly rather than taking it to social media. They also said she should be blamed for her ill-luck because Olamide is known for experimenting. He would take artists off the street, work with them for a while and sign a proper contract with them if they become an overnight success. They mentioned the likes of Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold and Fireboy, all of whom the record label boss had groomed. However, some other critics blamed Olamide for being unfair to her.

After a while, when nothing was heard again from both parties, Temmie, to the surprise of many, revisited her grouse with the singer. In a recent question and answer session with her fans about a week ago, the talented singer was asked if she is still in touch with her former boss. Responding, Temmie recounted the ordeal she suffered while still signed on to Olamide’s record label. According to her, she was 18 years-old when Olamide took her from Ilorin to Lagos after spotting her talent. She was asked to stay with his wife who verbally abused her in the presence of her friends and children.

She stated further that Olamide messed up her mind and later tried to compensate her for it. She also revealed that she was not interested in keeping in touch with him. Asked if she would like to collaborate with her former boss in the future, she declared that she would not want to be associated with men who use their position to hurt others.
