Social media is in a frenzy following reports that fast-rising singer Asake has severed ties with his boss, Olamide, and the YBNL music label.
According to online sources, Asake’s contract with YBNL recently expired, and he allegedly declined to renew it despite Olamide’s efforts.
Reports claim that Olamide proposed a new deal, but Asake chose to pursue independence, ultimately walking away from the label two weeks ago.
Asake has unfollowed everyone on social media and removed YBNL from his Instagram bio, signaling a definitive break.
