Oftentimes, we’d get questions such as how did you come about the name BADOOLEE?

The answer is quite simple.

If Olamide and D’banj would have a kid, BADOOLEE would be the product of such union. He’s sleek with the rap just like his mentor OLAMIDE and he possesses the swagger and poise of D’BANJ. Therefore, you’d get BADOO AND LEE (BADOOLEE).

While music might be entertainment or a means to money and fame for many, for Oluwatobi Famujimi, or BADOOLEE as he is most commonly known, music is life and his music showcases all aspects of his life which are relatable to most. BADOOLEE is a Nigerian artiste who specialises in rap genre, and he’s known for his one-take studio sessions, amazing collabs, fire singles, covers, and cyphers. He is versatile and not just as an artist but a medical doctor who for the love of music plunged full time into music after his graduation.

One of his popular releases titled ‘BRODA BODE’ shows how he showcases his raw talent, showmanship and skills on the microphone, all while incorporating his native dialect (YORUBA). Since then, he has gone on to release several sensational singles amongst which are ‘GUAP’, ‘FWML’, ‘STORY’, ‘JOGODO’, ‘SCREAM’ and ‘BELLY WAIST DEEP’ just to name a few.

TOBYD short for The Original Bad Yoruba Demon is more so a quick glimpse into the behind the scenes of a Yoruba demon’s everyday life in relationships. From con-sexual relations, to mutual beneficial relationships, to short-lets, or one-night stands.

The average Yoruba Demon is a mastermind at assurances, re-assurances, deceit and eventual exit or end of the relationship.

TOBYD starts with meeting your love interest on DON’T LIE, eventually you both get BELLY WASIT DEEP and you get her to be freaky and comfortable around you that whenever you schedule to meet she’s all up PON ME, as time passes, you both can’t stand the sight of each other and you start calling each other names HOLY MF. Well, now y’all both have had enough and you both go your separate ways and now she’s healing from the pain and trauma then you reach out requesting for MORE. PAY ATTENTION LADIES!!!!

Is a fiery 2- minute plus banger, in which BADOOLEE makes you of a charged beat to pass across his insights into his life, where music and fake love is concerned.

In this very spicy 3-minute song, he talks unabashedly about the women that desire him and how he aims to satisfy these ladies and have them reminiscing about his sexual prowess. The song is a suggestive panty-dropper that is bound to get the ladies whining to it.
