“Olamide first Grammy nomination came courtesy of Asake” – Netizens react amid YBNL controversy
The Nigerian music industry has been surrounded by lots of controversies as music stars kept on having issues between themselves.
The recent buzz surrounding Olamide and Asake’s alleged “beef” has ignited heavy discussions among fans and netizens.
The controversy got more heated after Asake unfollowed everyone on Instagram, including his boss, Olamide. While some have taken sides, it’s important to acknowledge how both artists have handled the situation with professionalism, despite the public narratives.
Many believed that the YBNL Boss Olamide took advantage of record label artist Asake, whom he helped raise to the spotlight in the music industry.
Videos of Asake from his earlier days have also resurfaced, with some using them as “evidence” to validate claims about his struggles and journey to fame.
However, others condemned the public opinions about the two music icons and urged proper fact-checking before jumping to conclusions, as none of the artists has come on air to narrate his side of the story.
As regards this controversy, Netizens’ reactions have added more discussions. “Olamide’s first Grammy nomination came courtesy of Asake.”
While fans supported this claim, others countered it immediately. “Who is Asake when talking about Baddo?”
“Asake is an ingrate. How can he unfollow his helper in the industry?”
None of the artists has spoken up at this time amidst the controversy. However, Olamide’s YBNL contract with Asake has been a game-changer for both parties, elevating the Afrobeats genre to new heights.
The focus should remain on their artistry, not unverified speculations. What’s your take on the controversy? Share your thoughts in the comments.
