Afrobeats star Asake has dismissed speculations of a fallout with his former label boss and mentor, Olamide, reaffirming his loyalty and respect for the music icon.
Rumours of a strained relationship gained traction in December 2024 after Asake removed YBNL Nation from his Instagram bio and unfollowed Olamide on the platform.
However, in a recent interview with YouTuber Korty EO, the singer clarified that his admiration for Olamide remains intact, despite the ongoing speculation.
He emphasised that his perception of the rapper has not changed over time, regardless of his own rising success or future achievements in the music industry.
The rumours also coincided with reports that Asake’s contract with YBNL had expired, with indications that he opted to pursue his career independently rather than renew the deal.
Although neither party has officially confirmed the current status of their professional relationship, sources suggest that any separation was mutual and on good terms.
Asake has consistently acknowledged Olamide’s influence in his rise to fame, and his latest comments underscore the strength of their enduring personal and professional bond.
