Nigerian RnB singer Opeyemi Rahim, aka Lyta, says he would never forget the influence of YBNL boss Olamide, on his music career.
In a recent chat with HipTV, Lyta spoke about his respect for Olamide and how they met.
“February 15, 2018, was fantastic. That was when I got on YBNL. I was a normal street boy hustling and striving to make ends meet. I used to go for shows outside Ajegunle. That is where I met one of my bosses,” he said.
“I met him in Ikeja. He supported me, said I knew my way around music. In January 2018, he took me to a new year party in Abeokuta. I performed and Olamide saw me. He said I was good and welcomed me to YBNL.
That’s how I started working with his label. No contract. Olamide is just a street boy, a street boss supporting the youth to the limelight. I’m grateful for that. I can never forget Olamide. I love him till death. He’s my boss for life.”

Explaining why he left Olamide‘s label in 2019, Lyta had said he was given a music release calendar which was inconsistent with how often he intended dropping new songs.
“When we want to drop new songs, we do so in a group of five. I was dropping my songs and they were talking about a calendar of some sort that I knew nothing about,” the singer had explained.
“I couldn’t always have to wait that long before dropping songs for my fans. That was why I made the move to leave the label. Olamide treats me well.
He takes me like a son and taught me lots of stuff, told me I had to hustle. While I’ve been there, I’ve been okay with the family. But for the good of my music career, I decided to move.”
In 2020 after he left YBNL, Lyta was signed to Marlian Music, a label owned by Naira Marley.
