Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold has expressed his gratitude to rapper Olamide for giving him a chance at the YBNL music label.
Olamide established YBNL in 2012 after releasing his second studio album, ‘YBNL’.
Adekunle Gold achieved his first music hit with ‘Sade’ in 2015, a high-life cover of One Direction’s ‘Story of My Life’.
He was signed to YBNL the same year, releasing his debut album ‘Gold’ before eventually leaving the label after his contract expired.
In a message on X (formerly Twitter), Adekunle thanked Olamide for his significant role in his career, revealing that he designed the YBNL logo and expressing appreciation for Olamide’s belief in his potential beyond graphic design.
“Thank you @olamide for giving that young graphic designer the chance to not only design the YBNL logo but to be a part of your family,” Adekunle wrote.
Since then, Adekunle Gold has released five albums: ‘Gold’ (2016), ‘About 30’ (2018), ‘Afropop’ (2020), ‘Catch Me If You Can’ (2022), and ‘Tequila Ever After’ (2023). Notably, ‘Falling Up’, a track from his latest album, was the closing ceremony anthem at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.
