After two years of pleading, Olamide finally gave in and signed me- Asake

Before Olamide, the CEO of YBNL Nation and a legendary rapper, agreed to sign him to the record company, Asake, a Nigerian vocalist, pleaded Olamide for over two years.

The rapper asked the “Mr Money” crooner if he would want to join his record label and invited him to his house one day. The singer hesitantly accepted.

He claimed Olamide advised him to consult a lawyer and understand the terms of the agreement, but he was too eager and signed right away.

“Before he [Olamide] signed me, I’ve been begging Baddo [Olamide] since 2020 to sign me,” Asake stated in an interview with Hip TV.

When I arrived at his house one day, he asked me… This paragraph gave me a headache. He signed me like this. “How are you, Asake?” he said. I said, “I’m fine.” “Would you like to join YBNL?” he then inquired.

You find it incomprehensible that someone you like, someone you look up to, someone you’ve been dying to see, would ask you that. I told him I was prepared. “Go and think about it,” he added. Look for a lawyer now. “Baba, sign me now, now, now,” I exclaimed. I want no lawyer at all. because, despite my distance, I adore the [YBNL] family so much.

YBNL Nation signed Asake in February of 2022. In the same month, he released Ololade, his debut extended play, which included the single “Sungba” and his breakout hit “Omo Ope,” with Olamide.
