Nigerian singer and content creator Olamide Ogunleye, popularly known as Oluwadolarz, has taken to social media to share a shocking encounter with an unidentified figure in the entertainment industry.
The comedian-turned-singer revealed in an Instagram story on Sunday night that a supposedly influential entertainer told him he would only promote his music after engaging in a sexual act.
Oluwadolarz alleged that the individual demanded sexual favours in exchange for promoting his music, endorsing his songs, and helping him top the charts.
He wrote,“You will promote my songs. Endorse my music. Help me top chart. But make I first bend over make you enter my Yansh. E.n.k.r sir.”
This revelation comes months after Oluwadolarz expressed frustration over the lack of support from his peers, including Sydney Talker and Lord Lamba, whom he said had not supported his music career despite previously living with him

While primarily known as a comedian and content creator, Oluwadolarz has dabbled in music, creating versions of trending songs and featuring various artistes.
In 2018, he remade Olamide Badoo’s hit song Science Student, which was rumoured to have upset the musician.
However, Olamide had previously shared Oluwadolarz’s version of his song Wo on Instagram, though he did not do the same for Science Student.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Oluwadolarz clarified that his intention was never to upset Olamide.
“When I did a version of Wo, Olamide shared it on his Instagram page; so, I felt he would like this too. Before I was told that he was unhappy with my interpretation, I had the feelings too.
“But when I met him at a video shoot, he didn’t say a word about it. He greeted me and said it was nice to meet me,” he said.
He added that he believed Olamide’s dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that his video exposed certain things hidden in the song.
Oluwadolarz acknowledged the anti-drug message in Olamide’s original video, noting, “If you watch his video well, you will see that he was fighting against the use of drugs.”
