Giving the reason behind his decision, the Y.A.G.I. rapper said; “People
are still getting it wrong; no peer group or friends pressurised me to
leave YBNL. To set the record straight, I don’t move with any other crew
other than YBNL; so who would possibly want to influence me? Nobody. It
has always been Olamide’s dream that we all grow big in the industry;
Olamide had shared the idea with me before I even thought of it. I am
still very much around in the industry and good stuff is still going to
come out from my stable and YBNL.

“The fact that I
am floating my own label does not matter, neither does it mean that I am
no longer under YBNL. That is where a lot of people are getting it
wrong. Olamide and YBNL movement are still managing me as an artiste and
the fact that I have my own label simply means that YAGI Records is
being managed by YBNL. We are still together; I and Olamide still record
in the same studio and work with same set of producers. As you all know
that YBNL is a family thing and we all support one another.”
