Asake signed with Olamide's YBNL instead of joining Chocolate City. Chocolate City’s head of A and R said the label nearly signed him before his breakout with YBNL, and Asake’s career progressed after he became part of OlamLde’s imprint.
Multiple labels showed interest in Asake before he rose to wider recognition, and his decision to join YBNL marked a turning point in how his music reached audiences. The episode highlights how offers and talks behind the scenes can change the course of an artist’s path, and it underscores the importance of timing and opportunity in building a music career. Closing on that note, Asake’s early label choice remains a clear example of how where an artist signs can shape the direction and visibility of their work.
