Big Vic, a popular media personality, has said that singer Asake has surpassed ace rapper and YBNL Nation CEO Olamide in terms of popularity.
In a recent episode of the ‘Ctdamongblacks’ podcast, he stated: “Asake is bigger than Olamide right now. Im not talking about lifetime achievement; Im talking about the moment. At this point, he [Asake] is bigger in terms of collaboration, connection, sold-out shows.
Olamide could have decided not to invest so much in him but he knew that if Asake becomes big, he would benefit from it.
He claims that Southeast singers are not assisting loved ones to achieve success in the music industry like their Southwest counterparts because they are afraid of being surpassed.
He urged Igbo artists to follow in the footsteps of their Yoruba colleagues and invest more in emerging talent from their region.
It should be recalled that Asake signed to YBNL Nation in February 2022. That same month, he released his debut extended play, Ololade, which featured his breakthrough song Omo Ope featuring Olamide and the single Sungba.
