Afrobeats star Asake has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to his former label boss and mentor, Olamide, amid speculation of a fallout between them.
Despite removing YBNL from his Instagram bio and unfollowing Olamide in December 2024, Asake said in a recent interview with Korty EO that his perception of the rapper remains unchanged.
“Till the world ends, Baddo will always be Baddo. The way I saw Baddo yesterday is the same way I see him today, and that will be the same way I will see him tomorrow, even if I become the president of America or Zimbabwe. Baddo will always be Baddo.”
This comes amid reports that Asake’s contract with YBNL may have expired, with the singer reportedly choosing independence over renewing the deal.
While neither Asake nor Olamide has publicly addressed the situation, industry insiders believe the split was amicable.
Asake has consistently credited Olamide for changing his life, and his latest comments reaffirm their enduring professional and personal bond.
