Nigerian influencer Big Salo is facing heavy backlash on X after publicly calling out rapper Olamide Baddo who is also YBNL record label boss for refusing to forgive and assist his former signee Lyta, who he say has struggled since leaving the label years ago.
In a viral video, Salo said: “Olamide Baddo, you really lack a forgiving heart. Shouldn’t you have helped Lyta by now? This life really goes a long way. You can’t take all your wealth with you to heaven.”

The call-out, sparked debate on the platform as many defended Olamide, arguing Lyta chose to leave YBNL, faced fallout, and Olamide isn’t obligated to support him indefinitely. Here are complied reactions from netizens:
One user @okosun_official said: “Is Lyta destiny tied to that of Olamide? Why can’t someone else help him… once betrayed, it is almost impossible to forgive and forget.”
Another user @NnayiLexon asked: “Since Olamide lacks a Forgiving heart to help Lyta, what stops Salo from using his influence… to help Lyta? Lyta made his choice years ago.”
@Emuobor_ wrote: “Olamide did his best for Lyta. It’s left for him to utilize the opportunity.”
@naija_saint commented : “Let Lyta help himself. His umbilical cord isn’t tied to Olamide.”
@Elizabethojo01 giving her honest opinion said: “IDK what lyta did tbh. But some sins aren’t meant to be forgiven… Another record label should sign him. Leave Olamide.”
