My Biggest Challenge Whenever I Am Going On The Stage — Olamide

OpenLife reports that Nigerian music star Olamide has opened up about the emotional and physical tension that often comes with stepping onto the stage, revealing that performance anxiety is something he still deals with despite years of experience in the spotlight.

According to the award-winning artist, the moments before a live performance are often filled with unease, especially because of past encounters with unpredictable audience behavior.

He explained that live shows are not always as controlled or safe as fans might assume, and this has shaped how he approaches performing in front of large crowds.

He shared his personal experience, saying, “I get nervous every time I am going on the stage.

I have had too many crazy experiences while performing. Someone from nowhere will just come and grab your chain or your hat, you don’t even know what to expect,”.

The rapper emphasized that these incidents are not isolated, noting that the excitement of fans can sometimes cross boundaries during energetic performances.

For him, the unpredictability of such situations adds an extra layer of pressure whenever he is preparing for a show.

Despite the challenges, Olamide continues to perform for massive audiences, balancing his love for music with the realities of live entertainment.

His reflections offer a glimpse into the less glamorous side of stardom, where performers must remain constantly alert while still delivering an engaging experience for fans.

Over time, he has learned to adapt, but he admits that the nervous feeling never fully disappears.

Instead, it becomes part of the routine that comes with stepping into the spotlight and facing thousands of expectant eyes.
