The renowned Nigerian music director and cinematographer, ThankGod Omori Smith, who is better known as TG Omori or Boy Director, has finally shed light on why he ceased directing music videos for singer Asake. Their collaborative journey began with the hit track "Organize" in 2022, but rumors started circulating when Asake opted to work with another director for his recent music videos.

Reports suggested that Asake's decision was influenced by dissatisfaction with TG Omori since their last collaboration, "YOGA," didn't garner as much attention as his previous videos. However, shedding light on their professional relationship during an interview on the Zero Condition Podcast, TG Omori emphasized that Olamide, the musician and CEO of YBNL record label, is committed to providing opportunities to artists. He underscored that it would be unfair to hold this decision against Olamide.

“Even husband and wife dey divorce, people do have a break. I think we have done enough, we have done like 12 videos. We are still very cool. You know it is a business and at the end of the day, you have to respect your client’s decisions.

“I like when artistes have the freedom to try out new things. I don’t want because we are guys you must shoot with me. I don’t know why that happened.

“To me it is crazy love because me and YBNL are forever. And you know how me and Olamide ‘go like way back’, and Olamide is a type that makes sure that everybody eats. And before I came, he was working with other directors and he gave me the opportunity to also do my thing.

“So he’s working with a very creative guy now. A very good guy that’s doing well too. That’s Olamide for you. And if I take that personal, then I have messed up.”
