Reactions As Olamide Excludes Asake From YBNL’s Reunion Concert

Nigerians have questioned singer Olamide following the exclusion of Asake from the lineup for YBNL Nation’s upcoming reunion concert scheduled to hold in Lagos State.

Reports that Olamide signed Asake to his record label in 2022, following the release of his hit single, ‘Omo Ope’.

In 2025, Asake left YBNL Nation to establish his independent record label, Giran Republic.
