Nigerian singer and actor Idowu Adeyemi, aka Yhemo Lee, recalls how he helped African rhythm group Asake meet Olamide.
The nightlife promoter said he and the “Joha” singer had been friends for about 13 years and it was an incredible moment when Olamide signed him.
Yhemo Lee expressed this in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, while recounting how he begged the YBNL boss to give Asake a chance.
He said he recorded a song with DanDizzy and YKB, so when Baddo heard it, he liked it and reached out.
According to him, Olamide first asked for DanDizzy’s contact information, saying he wanted them to work together, and it was during their online conversation that he defended Asake.
Yhemo Lee said he only hopes the hit songmaker will bless Asake with a poem and doesn’t expect a record deal.
He said that after a few chats, Olamide asked him to send an audio file of Omo Ope, which he immediately recorded and sent back to Ihemo.
He said Olamide started talking about a promotion, and about two days later, he revealed that he was interested in signing Asak to the YBNL.
The promoter said he went straight to Olamide’s house, where the contracts were ready and waiting for them. Ihmo Lee added that on the same day, Asek signed the documents.

God bless Yehmoli and Olamide. Asak never forgets!
