Nigerian rapper and music executive Olamide Adedeji, better known as Olamide, has offered insight into why he did not sign singer Omah Lay to his YBNL Nation label.

Olamide, who heads YBNL, revealed that he had an interest in signing Omah Lay during the early stages of the singer's career. However, Omah Lay informed him that he was already under contract with another record label.

The disclosure came during an interview with British-Nigerian media personality Adesope Olajide, also known as Shopsydoo.

Olamide said, “Somebody sent me Omah Lay’s song, ‘Bad Influence,’ I had to like search for him on Instagram. I messaged him that I want to sign him but he told me that he got a [recording] deal already.”

The rapper also revealed that he was depressed for about four years after running out of hit songs.

He, however, said he got his “swag back” after releasing hits like ‘Wo’ and ‘Motigbana.’

“Till date, songs like WO, MOTIGBANA, are like magic to me. I thought I could never get myself again. I was going crazy,” he said.
