Key points
- Olamide posts Champz teaser on Instagram story to show support. The clip comes days after his rebrand news.
- Boluwatife uses the stage name Champz for his music. He wants fans to meet him as an artiste.
- The co-sign may drive fresh listeners to the song. It also affirms Starboy ties among industry giants.
Nigerian rap star Olamide (Olamide Adedeji) has shown love to Wizkid’s son. He reposted a short video of Boluwatife Balogun, now called Champz.
The post appeared on his Instagram story on Saturday, November 1. It was a 57-second reel from the teenager’s handle. Olamide did not add a caption but the gesture was clear.
Days earlier, Champz told fans he had a debut single coming. He shared the new Instagram identity update on ValidUpdates. Olamide’s repost now signals that top players are watching the roll-out.
How Olamide showed support
The story featured Champz smiling in a car while vibing. The green filter gave the clip a moody, music-video feel. It looked crafted to tease a full song or visual.
For a young act, such visibility matters a great deal. Olamide has launched or backed many new voices in Afrobeats. So his page often acts like an informal A&R board.
Why the co-sign matters
This nod also bridges two of Lagos’ biggest music circles. Wizkid’s camp keeps growing with features and surprise studio calls. It shows how fast a teen act can enter that space.
Champz now benefits from that same web of attention. Fans of either star can trace the clip back to him. It may boost streams once the single drops fully.
Industry watchers also read loyalty in such actions. Olamide and Wizkid have shared warm moments over the years. That link echoes recent moves on Wizkid calls Mr Real remix.
For Champz, music is now a clear path, not a hobby. His October rebrand was meant to separate school-life from artistry. Today’s spotlight confirms that the plan is getting industry notice.
The teen also comes from a line of performers with range. Wizkid has tried sounds from Afrobeats to Amapiano and Caribbean fusions. Observers expect the son to test similar waters in time.
Social users were quick to screen-grab Olamide’s story. Many praised him for backing a colleague’s child without noise. Some even urged other stars to copy this simple push.
Neither Olamide nor Wizkid has publicly discussed a joint project yet. Still, moves like this make future links easier to start. Labels also watch such signals before investing in young acts.
For now, Champz only needs to keep the momentum steady. The Olamide story has given him a perfect weekend boost.
