The Nigerian music industry is buzzing with revelations from YBNL’s camp regarding Asake’s sudden exit from the record label. In a startling disclosure, YBNL’s manager shared how the team went above and beyond to satisfy the hitmaker, only for him to sever ties in an unexpected manner.
“Anything Asake wanted, he got it. We once rented an apartment for ₦40 million for just four days to make him happy,” the YBNL manager stated. The label, known for nurturing some of Nigeria’s biggest music stars, reportedly spared no expense in ensuring Asake had everything he needed to thrive.
However, things took a dramatic turn when, without warning, the artist distanced himself from the team. “At one point, he just stopped talking to us. He started communicating only through his lawyer,” the manager revealed. The situation reached its peak when the label received an official letter stating that Asake would no longer be part of YBNL.
“No one did anything wrong to him. The team used to go all out for him. Anything Asake wanted, we gave it,” the manager emphasized, expressing both confusion and disappointment over the singer’s abrupt departure.
Asake, known for his chart-topping hits and unique sound, rose to fame under YBNL, a label founded by Olamide, a respected figure in the Nigerian music scene. While the circumstances surrounding his exit remain unclear, this revelation adds a new layer to the ongoing discussions about artist-label relationships in the Nigerian music industry.
With fans eager for Asake’s side of the story, the unfolding drama leaves many questions unanswered. Was it a case of creative independence, legal disputes, or something deeper? One thing is certain—Asake’s exit from YBNL will be talked about for a long time.
