A new video making rounds online addressed to YBNL boss, Olamide Badoo has stirred reactions from netizens.
A man with the handle @bigphilly_ on TikTok who spoke in his native Yoruba language accused Olamide of trying to end the career of Asake the way he ended that of Fireboy.
He alleged that Olamide taking Asake to shows overseas is an attempt to end his career. The man stated that Nigeria is the home of Afrobeat and so Asake should come back home.
He called on Olamide to immediately bring Asake back to Nigeria.
He said:
“Afrobeats is taking over that is how Fireboy’s slowed down now Olamide has shifted attention from Fireboy to Asake.”
He also queried Olamide by asking him how many years he stayed back home saying he is the king of Yoruba rappers in Nigeria before exporting his music overseas.
Big Philly also claimed that Asake’s recent album flopped because he is stationed outside Nigeria.
He added that he should do the same for Asake by bringing him back to Nigeria to avoid his career nose diving just like that of Fireboy.
Watch him speak below:
“Olamide used Afrobeats to the world movement to end Fireboy’s career and he is also doing the same to Asake”
