<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">She disclosed this via her Instagram page on Saturday evening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Shade Ladipo wrote:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&#8220;I wonder if we give Olamide enough kudos for his impact in the industry. Since he attained stardom he has probably done more than any of your top 3 artistes (combined). He deserves a lot of praise for his contribution.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">The Daily Page recalls that singer Asake had revealed how Olamide helped him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">He said, &#8220;I was not at home. Something happened between me and my guys. I left the house and was very sad. On the third day, I came back to the house. My guy called me saying Baddo had jumped on my song,” Asake said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“I didn’t even think Olamide was going to sign me. It occurred to me that 2022 was sealed [as a stellar career year for me] with the collaboration alone. A week after I dropped the song, Olamide called, asking that we meet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“I tried out multiple outfits looking for something he would like to see on me. This was because Olamide was someone I respected. Before he signed me, I’d been begging Baddo since 2020 to do so.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“I got to his head and he asked if I would like to join YBNL. I said I’m ready but he asked me to go look for a lawyer and think about it. I asked him to sign me immediately. I didn’t need a lawyer because I so much loved the family.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, had earlier in February released a critically acclaimed eponymous four-track EP.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">He ventured into music at a young age. He also showcased his talent through freestyle videos on social media.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">His big break came with the release of his hit ‘Lady’ which became popular among music lovers and celebrities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Olamide announced the signing of Asake in February 2022.</span></p>
