Reactions as Olamide excludes Asake from YBNL’s reunion concert
Nigerians have expressed concern over the omission of singer Asake from the lineup of Olamide’s forthcoming reunion concert for YBNL Nation.
Olamide, who founded the record label in 2012, signed Asake in 2022 after the release of the hit single “Omo Ope.” In 2025, Asake departed YBNL Nation to launch his independent label, Giran Republic.
The reunion concert, scheduled for December 18, 2026, in Lagos State, aims to feature both current and former artists affiliated with YBNL Nation. In a promotional video shared on Olamide’s Instagram, the confirmed lineup includes notable artists such as Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Young Jonn, Fireboy DML, DJ Enimoney, and music producer Pheelz.

Social media reactions have criticized Olamide for Asake’s absence. Users on X have raised questions regarding the decision, with one user asking, “Where is Asake, Chinko Ekun, Davolee and Viktoh?” Another user expressed skepticism about the concert being a true reunion without Asake, stating, “Full YBNL reunion but Mr. Money no dey? Una sure say na reunion?”
Asake’s lack of inclusion in the event has prompted several fans to voice their disappointment, with comments ranging from confusion to outright refusal to attend the concert if he is not part of it.
