Asake Breaks Free! Departs YBNL to Launch His Own Record Label

Asake Confirms YBNL Exit, Launches His Own Record Label

It’s a new chapter for Asake! The Afrobeats sensation has officially confirmed his departure from Olamide’s YBNL Nation, marking the beginning of an independent journey under his own imprint, Giran Republic.

Rumors had been circulating about Asake parting ways with YBNL, with some speculating tension between him and his former label boss. However, Asake has made it clear there’s no bad blood. In fact, he paid tribute to Olamide in his recent track, “Military”, shutting down any talk of a fallout.

His latest release, “Why Love,” which dropped under Giran Republic, solidifies his status as an independent artist. While his time with YBNL has come to an end, Asake continues to be affiliated with Empire, the global distribution company he signed with in July 2022.

From YBNL Protégé to Label Boss

Asake’s journey with YBNL began in February 2022, and in just a few years, he became one of the biggest names in Afrobeats. Under the guidance of Olamide, he delivered chart-topping hits, sold out international venues, and built a dedicated global fanbase.

Now, with Giran Republic, Asake is taking full creative control of his career, a move that many top Nigerian artists have made after rising to stardom. His evolution from a YBNL signee to a label owner is a testament to his unstoppable growth and ambition.

What’s Next for Asake?

With his new label in place, fans can expect Asake to continue dropping groundbreaking music while possibly signing and nurturing new talents under Giran Republic. His signature blend of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Fuji-inspired sounds has already set him apart, and now, as an independent artist, the possibilities are endless.

Despite his departure, his legacy with YBNL remains intact. Olamide has a reputation for mentoring some of the biggest acts in Nigeria, and Asake is yet another success story.

As fans celebrate this new milestone, one thing is clear—Asake is just getting started. Keep an eye on Giran Republic because big things are coming!
