Nigeria Musician, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake opens up on how he got his record label boss Olamide to sign him.

The Afrobeat star revealed that he had to beg the ace rapper and CEO of YBNL Nation, Olamide, for about two years before he accepted to sign him to his record label.

The ‘Mr Money’ croonermade this revelation while Speaking in an interview with Hip TV recently.

He said the rapper invited him to his house one day after two years of him begging him to sign him and asked him if he would like to join his record label, and he accepted without hesitation.

He also stated that Olamide told him to get a lawyer and study the nature of the contract before signing, but he was too excited and signed it immediately.

Before he [Olamide] signed me, I’ve been begging Baddo [Olamide] since 2020 to sign me.

“One day, I got to his house, then he asked me… This part burst my head. This is how he signed me. He said, ‘How are you, Asake?’ I said I’m fine. And he asked me, ‘Would you like to join YBNL?’

“You don’t understand, for somebody you look up to, somebody you respect, somebody you’ve been longing to see, to ask you that question. I told him that I’m ready. He said, ‘Go and think about it. Go and look for a lawyer.’ I said, ‘Baba, sign me now now now. I don’t want any lawyer. Because I love the YBNL family so much even from afar.”

The signer was signed to the YBNL Nation record label in February 2022. That same month, he released his debut extended play, Ololade, which featured his breakthrough song ‘Omo Ope’ featuring Olamide and the single ‘Sungba.’ Since then he has continued to make weaves in the music industry.
