"I texted Olamide since 2020. I was like, baba help me. You have helped a lot of my friends like ******* o Ekun & Fireboy. ******* o & Fireboy were my friends at the university.

The sad thing was, he didn't reply my text. One day in 2021, he texted me back. 'Asake, come to my house, we need to see.' It was like a dream to me. When I got there, he asked me, 'Asake, will you like to join the YBNL family?' - Asake

It's the same Asake who has now made Olamide become the first Nigerian (African) rapper to get a Grammy nomination. Life!
