“Like father like son” is not always the case. See stark difference between YBNL leader Olamide and his artiste Adekunle Gold

When M. I’s Chocolate City birthed Ice Prince, fans said Ice was trying hard to rap like his boss “M. I.” The same has been the case some other singers who emerged from "already-made" artists' platforms. The “son” always tries to be like the “father” to gain recognition and acceptance. But that hasn’t been the case with Adekunle Gold. Check out these stark differences between him and his boss “Olamide!”

If you pay close attention to their Choice of Music/Genre, you’ll see that Olamide is more of an indigenous rapper who raps in vernacular. But Adekunle Gold music inclination tends to the alternative, being soul and R&B. His music oozes that softness and soul in it. Olamide is nothing like that. He is on a more pop-rap side of things which could be one reason he is not anywhere on Adekunle Gold’s debut album.

The case is the same with their personal branding and Image. Olamide commands a gangster and street king persona. But Adekunle Gold seems to be a coolheaded species. His overall package conveys simplicity and depth.

Lastly, music Videos and storyline show Olamide to have a party-like kind of vibe and feel with a lot of booty shaking by video vixens. But Adekunle is the story teller. This skill is captured in music videos elaborately. I'm yet to see any of Adekunle Gold’s music video with a party-hard demeanor.
