Yemisi Falaye, an entertainment lawyer, has revealed why singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, parted ways with rapper Olamide’s record label, YBNL Nation.

Recall that reports of Asake and Olamide parting ways surfaced last December when it was reported that the ‘Sungba’ singer had been allowed to leave the label under a termination agreement.

In February 2025, Asake all but confirmed his separation from Olamide when he launched his own record label, Giran Republic.

However, shedding light on the separation and the kind of contract Asake signed with YBNL Nation, Falaye revealed that the singer left because he felt cheated.

Falaye traced the origin of the fallout to when Asake decided against her legal advice not to sign the contract Olamide gave him at the very beginning.

She explained that Asake, who had been in the music industry for years without a breakthrough, rushed to sign the contract despite her advice because he was excited that he was finally getting signed.

Falaye clarified that Olamide clearly told Asake to get a lawyer to review the contract before signing.

Although Asake took the contract to Falaye, he refused her advice not to sign but instead insulted her and accused her of trying to impede his breakthrough.

Falaye had warned Asake that he would be signing away his rights “in perpetuity” if he agreed to the terms of the contract.

She recounted, “I remember when Olamide was going to sign Asake. He was so overwhelmed that he said to Olamide, ‘I’m not going to get a lawyer to review this agreement. YBNL wants to sign me, do you know how long I’ve been waiting? He had been around for the longest time before Olamide decided to sign him. Olamide told him, ‘Take the contract, go and give it to somebody to review it.

“So he brought it to me, and I said, ‘If you sign this agreement, you are going to assign your rights in perpetuity’. I advised him not to sign it. And he looked at me and said, ‘Are you kidding me? You said what? Did they send you? You want to pour sand in my garri.’

“He insulted me and called my bluff. Then he went back and told Olamide, ‘Look, I’m not going to…’ and right there, he signed it. And guess what? It didn’t particularly work for him. Because if it did, he would have renewed the agreement or at least been open to reviewing the terms. But he was so hurt, he felt cheated. Why should he feel cheated? He’s the one that didn’t understand the agreement.”

Nigeria’s Former President Muhammadu Buhari has passed on at the age of 82. Bashir Ahmad, the President’s former Special Assistant on Digital Communications, announced the development in a post on his verified X account on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

“The family of the former president has announced the passing of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London.

“May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin,” Ahmad wrote.

The former President had been ill and undergoing treatment in an undisclosed London hospital, with sources claiming he was placed in intensive care in the early days of his admission back in April.

While initial reports described his visit as a routine medical check‑up, sources confirmed he fell ill soon after arriving and remained hospitalised.

However, the family has yet to disclose the circumstances surrounding his passing as of press time.

During his presidency, Buhari embarked on frequent and prolonged foreign medical trips, which attracted criticisms and concerns over the nation’s healthcare infrastructure.

Born on 17 December 1942, the 82-year-old general served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 after his previous stint as military Head of State from 1983 to 1985.

Recall that last week, President Bola Tinubu had sent his vice, Kashim Shettima, to pay his predecessor a visit at the London hospital where he was recuperating.

Tinubu directed the Vice President to ascertain Buhari’s condition and ensure that he was supported to full recovery.

Shettima jetted off from Addis Ababa on Sunday night and arrived in London on Monday, July 7, 2025, before proceeding to an unnamed hospital.
