Asake Clarifies Rumored Rift with Olamide Amid Career Shift

Asake, an Afrobeat singer, has publicly addressed rumors regarding a rift with his former label boss, Olamide. He reaffirmed his respect and loyalty to Olamide, dismissing the speculation that arose when he removed YBNL from his Instagram bio and unfollowed Olamide.

This action led to widespread speculation within the music industry about a potential split as Asake prepares to pursue an independent career and launch his own record label, Giran Republic. The rumors intensified following a report from entertainment lawyer Yemisi Falay, who noted that the fallout began during the early stages of Asake's signing with YBNL.

Falay explained that Asake was eager to sign and rushed into the deal without proper legal review. Asake's comments suggest that his relationship with Olamide remains steady despite the changes in his social media presence.
