Why Olamide Rejected D'Banjs Offer.

We must have all been wondering what led to Olamide saying he wasn't signed to D'banjs record label. D’Banj and his management team wanted to sign in rapper Olamide however we later heard that Olamide turned down the offer with his reason "preferring to roll alone for now".
He believes that for now, there is nothing D’banj can do for him that he can’t do for himself.

“In the future, I will consider his offer. If anybody wants me, he should have unfettered access to me. I am just starting out in the profession”, he allegedly told close friends.

Is this Pride?
