The Nigerian music scene is buzzing with speculation after a series of cryptic moves by YBNL boss Olamide and his protégé Asake.
Weeks ago, rumors began circulating that Asake had parted ways with YBNL Nation, following the artist clearing all posts and references to the label from his social media accounts. The chatter gained momentum as reports claimed he had terminated his record deal with the label.
In a surprising twist, Olamide himself added fuel to the fire by wiping his own Instagram account, leaving only six posts, and unfollowing everyone, including key figures associated with YBNL. This move sent fans into a frenzy, with many convinced that Asake had officially exited the label.
The Twist: Asake’s New Music Video
However, the plot took an unexpected turn two days ago when Asake dropped the official music video for Whine, featuring Brazilian star Ludmilla. The video, a track from his Lungu Boy album, included a notable detail—YBNL Nation was credited as the record label behind the release.
This revelation left fans questioning the earlier rumors. If Asake had indeed severed ties with YBNL, why would the label still be tagged as owning his work?
Fans React
The apparent contradictions have sparked debates online, with fans accusing Olamide and Asake of intentionally “whining” the public.
• “So Asake and Olamide are just playing games with us? Na wa oh,” one fan commented.
• “If Asake has left YBNL, why is the label still involved in his music? Make these people explain abeg,” another added.
What’s Really Happening?
While no official statement has been made by Olamide or Asake to address the rumors, many believe the duo might be using the speculation as a strategy to keep fans engaged. After all, the entertainment industry thrives on mystery and surprise.
For now, fans will have to wait and see how the story unfolds. Whether Asake remains a part of the YBNL dynasty or has plans to branch out on his own, one thing is certain: both Olamide and Asake know how to keep the spotlight on themselves.
As they say, the truth will eventually come out—until then, it’s all vibes and mysteries in the YBNL camp.
Asake should concentrate on YBNL not fans
It should be clear enough that that video is part of the last album and everything has to be under YBNL until he starts another season entirely.
