Singer Pays Tribute to Olamide in Latest Track, Silencing Feud Rumors
Nigerian music sensation Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake, has officially confirmed his departure from YBNL Nation, the record label owned by rap icon Olamide. The announcement came on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, when Asake released his latest single, Why Love, under his own label, Giran Republic.
Speculations about Asake’s exit had been swirling for weeks, with rumors suggesting a controversial split from the label. However, the singer put these rumors to rest by acknowledging Olamide in his first single of the year, Military, where he paid homage to the YBNL boss. In the track, Asake gave a heartfelt shout-out to Olamide during the second verse, reaffirming their mutual respect and dismissing any talk of a rift.
Asake, who joined YBNL Nation in February 2022, quickly rose to fame with a string of chart-topping hits. In July 2022, he secured a distribution deal with Empire, a partnership he continues to maintain despite his departure from YBNL. His latest move to release music under his own label marks a significant step in his career, showcasing his ambition to take full control of his artistic direction.
In Military, Asake also addressed his critics, declaring his independence and success in the music industry. Singing in Yoruba, he confidently stated that he has more wealth than many of his peers and could drop a surprise album whenever he chooses. His bold lyrics and unwavering self-assurance have resonated with fans, further solidifying his status as one of Nigeria’s most influential artists.
The tribute to Olamide in Military sparked reactions online, with many fans drawing parallels between Asake and Portable, another artist whose career was significantly boosted by Olamide’s mentorship. Social media users praised Asake for his humility and gratitude, highlighting the importance of acknowledging those who have supported his journey.
Asake’s exit from YBNL Nation marks the end of a successful chapter and the beginning of a new era for the Grammy-nominated artist. With his latest release and the launch of Giran Republic, Asake continues to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
