In a deeply personal revelation on her Instagram stories, Madrina – who fans might remember also as Cynthia Morgan – let us in on the surprising helping hand she got. It was no other than the Grammy-nominated artist, big music executive, and YBNL Records boss, Olamide, stepping in at just the right time that, made an important change.
Madrina shared how Olamide’s kindness, a financial gift generousity of 1 million Naira, happened when she’s at the most crucial turning point. This act of support not just provided monetary relief, but, sent a strong message of unity and cheering comforts from a fellow artist. Even when she was advised by some to hide this generosity — seen by one in her inner circle as too small to mention, Madrina felt the need, really. to share. She spoke of her honestly surprised reaction and eventual pull-away from the person who brought down Olamide’s support, underlining the very real change it brought for her.
She openly shared her reflections, “Told someone Olamide sent me a million Naira some months ago, and the guy said I shouldn’t put it out there because the money is too small. Had to stop talking to that guy cause I No Understand (although it was never my intention to put it out here) but that statement almost made me post it immediately. 1 million Naira wey my own tribesman loan me insult me join. Abeg o Olamide. Thank you.”
Madrina flick a brief focus on a harsh memory of a similar loan from a family member that, was peppered with uglied insults, drawing a contrast in her struggles and the out-of-the-blue support she got from Olamide:
Olamide is no stranger to fame in the Nigerian music industry, having played a huge part in the growth and rise to fame of talented artists. He has invested significantly in many Nigerian talents, Adekunle Gold and Asake being noted examples?, Madrina’s gratitude for Olamide’s help shines light on his humane side and the culture of generosity that keeps his influence alive in the music business.
In undeniable terms, this act of support means a lot, serving as a strong symbol of the tight-knit community spirit and mutual help characteristic of the music industry. It makes us all remember the impact that simple kind acts can have on people’s lives, especially in grim times: Madrina’s appreciation for Olamide not only puts the spotlight on his kind-hearted acts but also inspire others to come forward and lend a helping hand.
