Early Life

On April 29, 1992, Ladipoe was born into the renowned family of Mr. and Mrs. Eso. The Eso family lived in Lagos City, but they were originally from the historic Yoruba city of Ilesa, which is located in Osun State.

The rapper Ladipo Eso, who also had a Religious upbringing, was given that name by his parents. His early years were spent in Nigeria’s economic hub, where he also finished his elementary and secondary education before moving abroad to pursue his academic education.

Ladipoe has a background in the sciences but has always had a strong passion for music that dates back to his high school years. Ladipoe’s desire to become a rapper was sparked by his exposure to American rappers like Eminem, 2pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, and Jay-Z. He explored this interest during his adolescence by writing rap lyrics and performing them in front of his loved ones, friends, and classmates.

Ladipoe has a passion for rap music but aspired to work in the music industry in Nigeria. He also realized that in order to be successful, he needed to polish his sound and write songs that would appeal to Nigerian listeners.

Ladipoe is from a wealthy family, giving him access to a top-notch education.

For elementary, middle, and high school, he attended prestigious private institutions in affluent areas of Lagos.

For his higher education, he went to the University of North Carolina, which is in Pembroke. He graduated from the US College with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry.

Career

Ladipoe returned to his own country after completing his undergraduate studies to pursue his lifelong aspiration of being a rapper. His first significant achievement occurred in 2017 when he signed a record deal with Mavin Records and joined the Mavin Family. Since the record company changed its name from Mo’Hit Records in 2012, he was the first rapper to sign with it.

When he was a featured artist on Show Dem Camp’s song Feel Okay, which was published in 2017, the scientist-turned-rapper seized the chance to showcase his talent. Many Nigerians were astounded by the artist’s rap skills, which kept him in the public eye for the months that followed.

Speak About Poe, Ladipoe’s debut official mixtape, was released in 2019. The mixtape introduced him to the nation’s rap music fans and assisted him in winning over more Nigerians. He recorded the number-one single Jaiye the same year, making him one of the nation’s prominent Afro Rap figures.

When Ladipoe released the eagerly awaited duet with Simi, Know You, in 2020, his career reached its zenith.

After receiving extensive broadcast on Nigerian radio stations for weeks following its debut, the song quickly rose to the top spot. Almost 80 million tracks were streamed on digital music platforms as a result of radio playing.

He made the decision to delight his supporters in May 2021 and engaged BNXN (formerly known as Buju) to help him do so. The result of their cooperation was the top-charting hit, Feeling. Similar to Know You, this song gained popularity on social media as a result of numerous content producers using it as the soundtrack to their videos and hundreds of fans recording and posting covers of the song. Feeling topped the TurnTable 50 List three times.

Ladipoe released his eagerly awaited debut EP, Providence, six months later. Rema, Fireboy DML, and Amaarae were featured artists on the 6-track project. The EP’s songs, which include LOTR II, Providence, Love Essential, Running, Law of Attraction, and Afro Jigga, are all top-charting singles.

Ladipoe was requested to sing at the sixth season of Big Brother Naija’s opening ceremony by the show’s producers, MultiChoice.
