Amid rising tension in the Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL) record label following the unexpected exit of popular artist Asake, label founder Olamide has distanced himself from any perceived conflict.
The acclaimed rapper and music executive declined to comment on the ongoing drama, maintaining a position of silence.
The trouble within the YBNL camp began when Asake, known for his hit song “Mr. Money,” erased all social media posts connecting him to Olamide and YBNL.
The sudden move has fuelled speculation and concern among fans and industry watchers about the nature of his departure from the label that launched his career.
Efforts by R to elicit a response from Olamide were met with silence at the Funnybone Live concert, held at Eko Hotel in Lagos on Sunday.
The rapper, who was present at the event, refused to be drawn into discussions about Asake, choosing instead to quietly walk away from reporters.
A member of Olamide’s team later clarified the situation, stating that the rapper’s presence at the concert was purely for the business of music and not to address rumours or controversies.
“Olamide is here for the music, not to speak about Asake,” the team member explained.
