In a candid conversation, the YBNL founder emphasized that the financial aspect of the deal wouldn’t be a concern, making it clear that Omah Lay could write down any figure he wishes, select any contract length, or even opt for a lifetime deal if that’s what he wants.
“For me, the money doesn’t matter. I just want Omah Lay,” Olamide expressed.

He believes that bringing Omah Lay on board wouldn’t just be a smart business move but a landmark moment for Afrobeats, as he sees the singer as a pinnacle of musical excellence in the genre.
In a surprising twist, Olamide shared that Omah Lay was behind the biggest hit of his career, surpassing tracks he created with artists already signed to his label. Olamide Baddoo
He pointed out that none of his current acts have managed to produce such a groundbreaking record, which further highlights why he holds Omah Lay in such high esteem.
This revelation has sparked intense discussions about artistic freedom, label influence, and legacy deals within Nigeria’s music industry.
Olamide’s comments have since gone viral, with fans and industry insiders split on the matter. Some view a blank cheque offer from a respected figure like Olamide as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while others argue that Omah Lay’s independent success suggests he might not need a label at this point in his career.

As the conversation continues to unfold online, one thing is certain: Olamide’s offer has set a new standard for how far a label head is willing to go to secure an artist he genuinely believes in. Olamide Baddoo
