As social media lovers continue to bask in the euphoria of the Headies drama, fast rising urban highlife act, Adekunle Gold who coincidentally won the award of the best 'Alternative Song', in the Headies2016, has opened up on how he became a part of Olamide-led YBNL.
The Yoruba born singer, Adekunle, whose singles, ‘Orente’ and ‘Sade’ continue to dominate the airwaves, in an exclusive interview with Nigeria Entertainment Today, NET, revealed that prior to the deal, he had a business relationship with the label.
In his words:
‘I have been doing stuff with Olamide before I was signed. I am a graphics designer and brand developer and I actually designed the YBNL logo. I have done a couple of designs for Lil Kesh, Viktoh and Olamide himself at some point.’
The up and coming star also disclosed that Olamide was impressed with his debut single, ‘Sade’ which made the deal go through.
According to him:
"When I recorded Sade, Olamide and the entire YBNL soldiers were impressed. He called me a day before the OLIC (Olamide Live In Concert) and that was when I discovered the entire team were feeling the jam. Olamide later called me that he was interested in working with me. That was how the deal came through".
