Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has reacted to rumours of a feud between him and his former record label boss, Olamide Adedeji, aka Olamide.

A few years ago, Asake left his record label, Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL), and eventually relocated abroad.

Before he left Nigeria, rumours spread that he and Olamide were no longer on good terms. Fans expected Olamide to attend Asake’s shows abroad, but he never did.

In a video interview conducted in Yoruba, Asake spoke about the relationship he shared with his former boss.

According to him,

“Till the end of time, my ex-boss will forever remain Baddo.”

He added that he respects Olamide greatly and that even if he became the President of America, it would not change the kind of relationship he shares with Baddo.

Asake referred to Olamide as “Baddo” several times during the interview.

Reactions to Asake’s comments

Fans compared Asake to Portable, who has been criticised for speaking against Olamide despite all he has done for him and his career.

They called Portable ungrateful but praised Asake for showing respect and loyalty.

This is not the first time that Asake has spoken about his relationship with Adake after his exit from the YBNL record label. He once said that Asake is his brother for life.
