"With Bad Habit's experience, we're confident that Amaarae will break into new international markets more aggressively. Talk of the Asian and South American markets," Olele told Legit.ng in an exclusive chat.

These are the guys behind Burna Boy, and we've seen how they've been able to position him to become the megastar he is today. For Amaarae, we can also look at strategic international collaborations and high-profile endorsements beyond music. She has had her stint with the Grammys and VMAs, and I believe Bad Habits will be able to make a strong case to earn her some global awards in the next few years.
