Nigerian rapper and YBNL boss Olamide has thrown his support behind Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, following the teenager’s viral freestyle that marked his entry into the music scene.
Just days after Boluwatife, who now goes by the stage name Champz, shared a studio snippet teasing his debut single “Champions Arrival”, Olamide reposted the video on his Instagram, signaling his approval of the young artist’s promising start.
The 14-year-old’s clip, which has since amassed over a million views, features him confidently rapping over an Afrobeats-infused rhythm, blending youthful swagger with polished delivery. Fans were quick to applaud his vocal flow and composure, with many drawing parallels to his father’s early career while praising his individuality.
“He’s definitely got his dad’s star power but with his own vibe,” one fan commented under the post.
The short video, filmed during a relaxed studio session, sparked excitement across social media, with industry observers describing it as the birth of another Balogun star in Nigeria’s thriving Afrobeats landscape.
While Boluwatife has yet to announce a release date for “Champions Arrival”, anticipation is already building for his official debut, especially with Olamide’s endorsement adding credibility to his budding career.
As the son of one of Africa’s biggest music exports, Champz’s entry into the scene marks a generational moment for Nigerian pop culture, one where legacy, talent, and mentorship continue to intersect.
