Nigerian singer and songwriter Asake has unfollowed everyone on Instagram, including his label boss, Olamide. He also ditched his label YBNL, which was boldly written on his Instagram bio, suggesting his time with the label has come to an end.
Though many had earlier assumed his departure from the YBNL following the absence of the label’s logo in his latest music video, Uhh Yeaah.

While others simply claim it’s business and people are meant to disagree and part ways, others claim loyalty is a thing and should have simply remained with Olamide’s YBNL.
