In a significant move that marks a new chapter in his music career, Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake has officially parted ways with Olamide’s YBNL Nation and launched his own record label, Giran Republic. The announcement was made through the release of his latest single, “Why Love,” under the new label, signaling a fresh start for the talented artist.

Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade Asake, joined YBNL in February 2022 and quickly rose to fame, becoming one of Nigeria’s top Afrobeats artists. His journey with YBNL saw him release numerous hit tracks and gain widespread recognition both locally and internationally. However, rumors of tension between Asake and YBNL had been circulating, despite his previous efforts to dispel them with his song “Military,” which appeared to honor Olamide.

The move to establish Giran Republic marks Asake’s transition from being a signee to a label owner, a natural progression for many artists looking to gain more control over their creative direction and business endeavors. While his exit from YBNL ends a significant era, Asake’s distribution deal with Empire remains intact, ensuring that his music continues to reach a global audience.

In a statement, Asake expressed his excitement about the new venture and his commitment to supporting emerging talents through Giran Republic. “This is a new beginning for me, and I’m excited about the journey ahead. Giran Republic is not just a label; it’s a movement to empower and uplift young artists,” he said.

Fans have been quick to share their thoughts on Asake’s decision, with many showing their support for his bold move:

  • @naija_music_fan: “Asake is on a new level! Can’t wait to see what Giran Republic has in store for us.”
  • @afrobeatslover: “Respect to Asake for taking this step. Wishing him all the success with his new label.”
  • @musiccritic101: “Big moves from Asake. Looking forward to more great music from Giran Republic.”

Asake’s latest single, “Why Love,” has already started making waves, with fans praising its catchy beat and heartfelt lyrics. The song serves as a statement of independence and a testament to Asake’s unwavering dedication to his craft.

Asake joins the ranks of Nigerian musicians who have taken the bold step to manage their own record labels, further solidifying his position as a leading figure in the Afrobeats scene. As he embarks on this new journey with Giran Republic, the music world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in Asake’s career.
