Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has officially confirmed his departure from Olamide’s YBNL Nation. Speculation about his exit had been circulating, but the artist put the rumours to rest by releasing his latest single, *Why Love*, under his own imprint, **Giran Republic**.

Despite leaving YBNL, Asake’s relationship with his former label boss, Olamide, appears to remain intact. Earlier in the year, he paid homage to Olamide in his song *Military*, dispelling any notions of a rift between them.

Asake joined YBNL Nation in February 2022, a move that propelled him to mainstream success. In July of the same year, he signed a distribution deal with **Empire**, a partnership he still maintains even after exiting YBNL.
