‘Superhero Adugbo’ Album Review
The album serves as a memoir of Oladips’ life experiences, showing his desire to be noticed by listeners who may have overlooked his talent.
Rooted in the harsh realities of street life, the album narrates the struggles of inner-city existence, aiming to resonate with a wide audience.
Throughout the album, Oladips shares the adversities that have shaped his life, using street-hop tunes to convey his pain, self-awareness, and hunger for success.
Tracks like ‘Young Nigga Dream’ and ‘Ori’ delve into his aspirations, while ‘Wabillah’ and ‘Can’t Sleep At Night’ express his desire for blessings not only for himself but for his family.
The artist also reflects on the struggles of the music industry, including his own stint with online fraud, arrests, and the hope he derived from witnessing Chinko Ekun’s signing to Olamide’s YBNL Record Label.

Was The Fake Death Stunt Worth It?
However, the shadow of controversy looms large over ‘Superhero Adugbo’ due to Oladips’ decision to stage a fake death stunt just before the album’s release. This extreme marketing tactic, intended to garner attention and sympathy, has raised ethical questions within the music community.
The article argues that, regardless of the album’s quality, faking one’s death is an unnecessary and irresponsible method to ensure visibility. Drawing parallels with Mohbad‘s posthumous commercial success, Oladips’ actions are deemed provocative and disrespectful to the memory of the late artist.
