“Billionaire Club” Official Video Out Now ft. Olamide & Darkoo
Nigerian music heavyweights Olamide, Wizkid, and British-Nigerian star Darkoo have set the internet ablaze with the release of the official music video for their hit single “Billionaires Club” on August 14, 2025, a standout track from Olamide’s self-titled album Olamidé. Directed by Jyde Ajala, the cinematic visuals, dripping with luxury and streetwise flair, have amassed over 1.2 million YouTube views in just one week, cementing its status as a cultural phenomenon and a defining moment in Afrobeats for 2025.
The video, premiered at 6 p.m. on August 14 as announced by posts on X, showcases a high-octane display of opulence, featuring sleek sports cars, designer suits, and glittering jewelry set against vibrant Lagos and London backdrops. Olamide commands the screen with his signature “Baddo” confidence, Wizkid exudes effortless charisma, and Darkoo brings a magnetic, global edge, tying the visuals to the song’s infectious blend of rap, Afrobeats, and UK drill influences. The track, the fifth on Olamide’s 17-track album released June 18, 2025, celebrates ambition and success, with lyrics like “Oluwa lo ye, live your life and enjoy” resonating with fans.
“Billionaires Club” marks another chapter in the long-standing creative synergy between Olamide and Wizkid, who first collaborated 15 years ago on Omo To Shan. Darkoo’s contribution adds a fresh dimension, with her verse—“I dey chop kele, I be full connoisseur”—bridging Nigerian and UK music scenes. The video’s bold cinematography and lavish set designs, as noted by Tooxclusive, have been praised as “a visual feast,” with fans on X flooding timelines with clips. @hypetribeng tweeted, “Olamide, Wizkid, Darkoo’s #BillionairesClub video is pure fire! This is Afrobeats royalty! 🔥,” while @ybnl2012 posted, “Baddo and Wizzy shut it down! Darkoo’s vibe is unmatched. #VisualsOnPoint.”
The release has not been without critique. Some fans, like @TruthSeekerNG, remarked, “Video is dope, but the lyrics glorify wealth too much in this economy. Tone it down.” Others, however, see it as aspirational, with @NaijaGist tweeting, “From the streets to the top, #BillionairesClub is the anthem we need! 🇳🇬.” The song’s streaming numbers are soaring, trending at number 13 on YouTube with 608,597 views shortly after release, per Leadership.ng, and dominating Spotify playlists, as reported by Shazam.
Olamide, reflecting on the project in a Pulse Nigeria interview, emphasized his evolution as an artist, saying, “I’m not boxed into rap anymore. This is music for enjoyment, not pressure.” The video’s success follows the album’s strong reception, with Olamidé featuring other heavyweights like Dr. Dre and Popcaan, solidifying Olamide’s status as a global music force.
