Olamide Live in Toronto

Putting Baddo on a Toronto stage two nights in a row was one of the boldest calls I’ve ever made. And I’d make it again tomorrow.

I started planning this run back in May. Visa logistics, venue holds, the YBNL convoy, hospitality runs to and from Pearson, every line on the run-of-show got rebuilt at least three times before doors opened.

Night one at Rebel Entertainment Complex was a warm-up for the soul. Night two at QET was the moment. When “Science Student” dropped, the entire floor became a single moving body. I was standing at FOH with goosebumps.

Toronto, you turned out for me. Diaspora fans flew in from Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, even Detroit. That’s the kind of moment I build the whole year for.

Big shouts to YBNL, Empire, the Rebel and QET teams, and every promoter, vendor and security lead who made the two nights run clean.
