Reactions as Olamide excludes Asake from YBNL’s reunion concert

Nigerians have questioned singer Olamide following the exclusion of Asake from YBNL Nation’s upcoming reunion concert.

DAILY POST reports that Olamide signed Asake to his record label in 2022, following the release of his hit single, ‘Omo Ope’.

In 2025, Asake left YBNL Nation to establish his independent record label, Giran Republic.

However, announcing the reunion concert, Olamide revealed that the show would feature both current and former artistes signed to YBNL Nation since its establishment in 2012.

The show is scheduled for December 18, 2026, in Lagos State and is expected to bring together artistes associated with the label.

However, the announcement video shared on Olamide’s Instagram page indicated that the line-up would include Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Young Jonn, Fireboy DML, DJ Enimoney and music producer Pheelz.

Reacting to the announcement on X, several users questioned Olamide over Asake’s absence from the line-up.
