The nightlife king disclosed that although he has been friends with Olamide for 13 years, he didn’t expect a record deal from the YBNL boss.
Yhemo Lee further described the moment as unbelievable claiming that when he made a single with DanDizzy and YKB, Baddo heard the track, liked it, and reached out.
He said that Olamide initially requested DanDizzy’s contact expressing the desire to work together and that it was during the course of their online interaction that he spoke out in favor of Asake.
He claimed that after a few conversations, Olamide asked him to send an audio clip which he promptly recorded before sending it back to Yhemo.
