Overall Meaning

The song "Matters Arising" by Olamide talks about the rapper's success and how people are talking about him. Olamide brushes off the negativity surrounding his success and lack of privacy. The chorus repeats the phrase "Matters Arising, They talking my Matter, Free advertising, I no need to Bother." indicating that he is not concerned about the gossip around him and that it only helps him become more popular. He suggests that he doesn't want to be bothered by the attention and he doesn't need people to promote him as everyone has their hands in everything.


The artist asserts his confidence in his power and the way he moves in life. Olamide invokes the name of God multiple times throughout the song, implying that he believes in himself and his success, but ultimately his faith in God will take him further. He stays true to himself and his values, confidently expressing his desire to make money while remaining determined to win. The phrase "Eminin Awon ogun orun ah" roughly translates to "I am not afraid of anyone, not even the gods" further strengthens this idea.
