Olamide premieres “Luvaluvah,” a three‑minute statement of craft and creativity produced by P.Priime, as the lead release from his self‑titled Olamidé album on YBNL Nation and EMPIRE.
After plans to sample Lauryn Hill’s late‑nineteen‑nineties classic met clearance hurdles, he and P.Priime reimagined the hook to capture the same soulful impact without legal constraints. Olamide’s admiration for Hill runs deep—he cites her work as a personal refuge—and that influence echoes through this track’s rich melodic turns and confident wordplay.

Since launching his label in the early ten‑teens, Olamide has shaped Afrobeats with a string of chart‑topping albums and genre‑crossing singles. His breakthrough came with a debut that fused Yoruba lyricism and street‑wise narratives, followed by projects that introduced artists like Wizkid and Tiwa Savage to wider audiences. He earned Artiste of the Year honors at major African awards and has sustained a run of critically acclaimed releases, including last year’s Ikigai EP, which returned to his Yoruba rap roots.
“Luvaluvah” balances buoyant percussion and chopped vocal samples around Olamide’s rhythmic flow. He navigates themes of loyalty and lifestyle with lines that land on both club speakers and personal playlists. The single’s mid‑June release builds anticipation for the full album, a collection that promises collaborations, fresh production techniques, and the lyrical dexterity he’s known for. Available now on all major streaming platforms, “Luvaluvah” confirms Olamide’s ongoing role as a driving force in Nigerian music and highlights his dedication to pushing creative boundaries.

Lyrics
Erima mo ni ibo loda
Why you wanna leave me alone
Follow another another oda
Isu ti mo gbe kanor da
If you no go let me love you jeje
Make we go scoda
I go report you to maale
And aunty philomena
All the love you promise a ****
You no dey show me now
When you met me on the road
Be like say i be only man
You make me feel special
Like I be the only man
Over baby koloba
You be the apple of my eye
O kin shey koroba
O’ngba mi bi snooker
O’nwa mi bi jangilover
Damroba,you dey show me love before but now we sober
Omo ti mo fe, omo ti mo ye
Omo ti mo fe ka jo le po
Ka jo ma wa, ka jo ma ge
Love you every night
Love you every day
Make our love no get accident
Olomoge joor ki lo wa de
Lova lova mi
Don’t you suffer me
Treat me special, treat me properly
It’s a cold world
My baby cover me
Anything for you my G, i no fit lie aje
Lova lova mi
Don’t you suffer me
Treat me special, treat me properly
Lova lova mi
Don’t you suffer me
Anything for you my G, i no fit lie aje
Love your body all night
This your body wey dey make me wan kpai
Body wey dey set man on fire
Ebelebe rora ma gbe mi one time
Omotena, omotena my baby na container
Carry goons all over wey fit fight for you like Mandela
Everywhere my bololo dey scatter
Na you be my antenna and you know the level when I…
Mo ni pe
Over
Baby koloba
You be the apple of my eye
O kin shey koroba
O’ngba mi bi snooker
O’nwa mi bi jangilover
Damroba,you dey show me love before but now we sober
Omo ti mo fe, omo ti mo ye
Omo ti mo fe ka jo le po
Ka jo ma wa, ka jo ma ge
Love you every night

Make our love no get accident
Olomoge joor ki lo wa de
