Olamide and Asake have officially parted ways, with Asake allowed to take his song masters and maintain a royalty split for at least 10 years. Despite Olamide offering a new contract, Asake chose independence. The amicable separation follows Asake's meteoric rise with YBNL and his global success.
Olamide and Asake have officially parted ways after the YBNL music boss reportedly allowed the "Sungba" crooner to terminate his contract. Sources reveal that Asake was permitted to take the masters of his songs recorded under YBNL, while both parties agreed to maintain a royalty split for at least 10 years. The contract termination followed the release of Asake’s album, Lungu Boy, a few months ago. Olamide, reflecting on the decision, emphasized that YBNL was founded to help young artists grow, and he was proud of Asake's accomplishments.
Earlier this week, rumors circulated when Asake removed all YBNL-related content from his social media accounts and unfollowed everyone, including Olamide. Reports suggest that before the split, Olamide offered Asake a new contract, but the artist chose to pursue an independent path. The final break occurred two weeks ago when Asake walked away from the deal to become his boss.
Asake, who joined YBNL in 2022, quickly rose to fame with numerous hit songs and even sold out London’s O2 Arena twice, cementing his place in the global music scene. The amicable separation marks the end of a successful partnership, with both parties maintaining mutual respect.
