VIDEO: “I have been texting Olamide since 2020” – Asake recounts how he got signed into YBNL Nation

Buzzing Nigerian Artiste, Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, has narrated how he got signed into Olamide’s record label, YBNL nation.

In a recent chat with Cool FM, the ‘Trabaye’ singer narrated his journey to becoming a YBNL-signed music artist.

Asake opened up on having been texting Olamide since 2020 but didn’t get any response from him.

According to him, he would always slide into Olamide’s DM asking for help while reminding him about how he helped his friends like Fireboy and so on.

The YBNL signee revealed that he and Fireboy went to the same school but Fireboy seemingly experienced a breakthrough before him so he often used this against Olamide all in a bid to get his attention but it didn’t work out.

He went on to assert that his dream came true after he dropped ‘Omo Ope’. He stated that Olamide just gave him a call and demanded that they meet and when he arrived, Baddo simply asked if he would like to join the family.

Bursting with excitement, Asake disclosed that he didn’t think twice about the question as he agreed on the spot.

He added that Olamide told him he has been watching him for a long time before the signing took place.
