Nigerian music star Asake has recently ignited speculation regarding his relationship with YBNL after making significant changes to his Instagram profile. On December 26, 2024, Asake removed any mention of YBNL from his bio and unfollowed everyone on the platform, including his label boss, Olamide. This move has left fans questioning the status of his association with the label.
The timing of these changes is particularly noteworthy as Asake was absent from the Flytime Festival 2024, where Olamide headlined alongside other former YBNL artists like Pheelz, Fireboy, Young Jonn and many others. The festival served as a reunion for many artists associated with the label, making Asake’s absence even more conspicuous.
Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions to the unfolding situation. Some speculate that Asake might have outgrown YBNL or is seeking greater independence in his career. Others suggest there could be underlying issues within the label, highlighting broader concerns about artist management in the Nigerian music industry. There’s also speculation that his contract with YBNL may have expired.
However, many fans believe it’s too soon for Asake and YBNL to part ways, arguing that both still stand to benefit significantly from their partnership at this stage.
Asake’s recent actions have undoubtedly stirred curiosity and concern among fans and industry observers alike, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for one of Nigeria’s most promising talents.
