Afrobeats fans are in for a treat as Nigerian music heavyweights Asake and Olamide officially reunite ahead of the release of Olamide’s highly anticipated album, “Olamidé.”
Despite swirling rumors of a fallout following Asake’s exit from YBNL Nation, the artists prove their bond remains strong with a new collaboration on the track “99.” The announcement has sparked excitement across social media, as fans prepare for what promises to be one of the biggest album releases of the year.
Olamide’s Album “Olamidé” Drops June 18, 2025
The upcoming album titled “Olamidé” is slated for release on June 18, 2025, and will feature a diverse blend of talents, including:
- Young Jonn
- Seyi Vibez
- Daecolm (British R&B singer)
- Asake – featured on the song “99”
This project will be Olamide’s first major release in over a year and is expected to blend street-hop, Afrobeats, and global sounds in his usual trailblazing fashion.
Putting Rumors to Rest
Asake’s involvement in the album directly counters earlier speculation that his departure from YBNL Nation was due to personal or professional tension. While the exit in 2024 was quiet and unexplained, Asake has since launched his own imprint, Giran Republic, marking a new phase in his career as both artist and label executive.
Their reunion on “99” highlights mutual respect and long-term synergy, further showing how YBNL alumni continue to thrive in and outside of the camp.
What This Means for Afrobeats
This collaboration underscores a key strength of the Nigerian music industry: evolution without enmity. Olamide, long known for mentoring talents like Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, and Adekunle Gold, maintains lasting bonds with his protégés. Asake’s return is symbolic—it bridges old success with new beginnings and hints at more cross-label collaborations to come.
Final Thoughts
Asake and Olamide reunion is more than music—it’s a reminder that loyalty, respect, and artistic growth can go hand in hand. As fans eagerly await the full “Olamidé” album, this moment adds emotional depth and excitement to the rollout.
