Olamide recently granted an interview to TVC Connect where he opened up about his new signing Temmie Ovwasa and also about Lil Kesh leaving YBNL.
About his new act, the YBNL boss said he actually discovered Temmie via Instagram and reached out to her. One thing led to the other and she became YBNL’s first female artiste. He also talked about how he’s been busy recording songs with Temmie, working on Adekunle Gold’s album plus songs and videos for himself.
When asked if all artistes with YBNL have two year contracts, he said:
”YBNL artistes aren’t usually signed for two years, it depends on the deal we have with them. But the deal I had with Kesh and Viktoh was for two years”
He was also asked if Lil Kesh is with YBNL as he’s been claiming and he said:
”Yes, YBNL is helping him set up his record label”
