Ghanaian Afrobeat star Olivetheboy offered an intimate look at how he navigates personal values and relationships in the face of rapidly increasing fame on 3Music TV's Big Conversation. During the conversation, he shared that while success has brought new challenges, he’s grounded by a strong support system, particularly by close friends and family who have been with him long before his fame.

Olivetheboy humorously broke down his priorities with a now-iconic ranking: “God first, family second, friends third, girlfriend fourth.” This candid statement revealed a lot about the artiste’s values, especially how he sees relationships as central to keeping his perspective and humility intact. His upbringing has instilled in him a deep sense of gratitude and balance, making it clear that the relationships he holds dear are integral to his personal identity and artistic journey. This network, he says, helps him stay focused on his goals without losing sight of where he comes from.

Beyond family, Olivetheboy credits his close circle of friends with shaping both his character and his unique musical style. He mentioned that these friends not only stand by him through the ups and downs of fame but have also significantly influenced his music. Their early encouragement led him to explore various genres, including Hip-hop and trap, which he later incorporated into his Afrobeat sound. These elements have become key in distinguishing his work in a highly competitive industry, bringing a distinct flavor that resonates with both local and international audiences.

For Olivetheboy, these relationships are more than just support; they are the source of his creativity and inspiration. By keeping his values front and center, he’s able to navigate the pressures of the industry without compromising his authenticity. The interview highlighted how his journey is not only about charting personal success but also about staying true to those who have been a part of his life’s story from the beginning.
