The rapper asked the “Omo Ope” crooner if he would want to join his record label and invited him to his house one day. The singer hesitantly accepted.
He claimed Olamide advised him to consult a lawyer and understand the terms of the agreement, but he was too eager and signed right away.

Asake stated in an interview with Hip TV:
In his words ;
“Before he [Olamide] signed me, I’ve been begging Baddo [Olamide] since 2020 to sign me.
“One day, I got to his house, then he asked me… This part burst my head. This is how he signed me. He said, ‘How are you, Asake?’ I said I’m fine. And he asked me, ‘Would you like to join YBNL?’
“You don’t understand, for somebody you look up to, somebody you respect, somebody you’ve been longing to see, to ask you that question. I told him that I’m ready. He said, ‘Go and think about it. Go and look for a lawyer.”
I said: “Baba, sign me now now now. I don’t want any lawyer. Because I love the [YBNL] family so much even from afar.”
