In a shocking turn of events, Olamide has allowed Asake to peacefully terminate his contract with YBNL Music, marking a rare display of artistic freedom in the music industry. This move has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, with many praising Olamide’s selfless act.
According to sources, Asake has been given the masters to all his songs recorded under YBNL Music, ensuring he retains creative control and ownership of his work. While the label will maintain a royalty split on the songs for a minimum of 10 years, this gesture demonstrates Olamide’s commitment to nurturing talent and prioritizing artistic growth.
Olamide’s statement on the matter is a testament to his character: “I didn’t create YBNL because I wanted to make money. I created it because I wanted to see other young people grow, so if any artist under me wants to leave, they are free.” These words echo his dedication to empowering emerging artists and providing a platform for them to thrive.
Asake’s departure from YBNL Music has been marked by his removal of any label affiliations from his social media handles and his decision to unfollow everyone, including Olamide. This move signifies a new chapter in Asake’s career, one that promises growth, exploration, and artistic freedom.
The music industry could learn from Olamide’s example, prioritizing artistic growth and freedom over contractual obligations and financial gain. As the entertainment world continues to evolve, it’s refreshing to see leaders like Olamide paving the way for a more compassionate and supportive industry.
