Olamide finally breaks silence on Asake’s success

Nigerian rapper Olamide Gbenga Adedeji, also known as Olamide, has spoken about former record label signee Asake and his journey to stardom.

Olamide in an interview revealed that he perceived Asake’s talent and gift from their first meeting. He also praised the singer’s authenticity and originality, stating that he is an artist he respects.

“I did not know he was going to go that wild, but I knew Asake was one of one. From the sound and everything. I have never heard anything close to that before. His authenticity and his craftsmanship.
Asake is not the dude you try and convince to put in effort because he is already putting effort. That is why I respect him so much. And I thought it would be a nice thing for us to partner,” he said,

Olamide also noted that he does not like to pressure artists signed to his label to make music. He revealed that he gives them the liberty to just create what come to them and that allows them to be original and unique.

“Honestly, I do not put such pressure on my guys. I try as much as possible not to put pressure on them. I just tell them to make beautiful music. If it is awesome, it is going to fly. It might not fly. It might fly in 10 years, 20 years. And we are still seeing that in real life now,” he added.
