Renowned Nigerian rapper Olamide has reconnected with former YBNL signee Asake as excitement builds for his upcoming album. The self-titled project, “Olamidé,” is slated for release on June 18, 2025, and will feature a lineup of collaborations with artists like Young Jonn, Seyi Vibez, and UK-based singer Daecolm.
Photos and reports of Olamide and Asake together have sparked buzz online, effectively putting to rest rumors of a fallout between the two. Despite Asake’s departure from YBNL Nation and the launch of his own label, Giran Republic, the duo’s reunion reflects a strong and ongoing professional bond.
Asake’s contribution to the track “99” marks a notable return, clearing the air on past speculations about a rift. While the exact reasons behind his exit from YBNL remain unclear, Asake’s transition into label ownership—alongside this renewed collaboration—signals his evolution both as an artist and a business figure in the industry.
