Nigerian singer Opeyemi Rahim, widely known as Lyta, has openly expressed his heartfelt desire to reunite with his former record label, YBNL Nation, and has extended a plea to label boss Olamide for a potential reunion.
Participating in the Ginger Yourself Podcast, Lyta shed light on the circumstances surrounding his departure from YBNL Nation, emphasizing that it was not a deliberate choice.
He clarified, “I want to be back with YBNL; what I did back then [leaving YBNL Nation] wasn’t intentional. I didn’t hear from Olamide before leaving, and after I left, he just locked up. But I’ve spoken to him since leaving. I chatted with him via Instagram on his birthday, and he responded.”
The ‘Monalisa’ crooner revealed that the lines of communication have been reestablished between him and Olamide, dispelling any notions of intentional separation.
When asked about Olamide following him on Instagram, Lyta disclosed, “No. He is not following anybody on Instagram.”
Lyta’s appeal for a return to YBNL Nation marks a significant development in the narrative of his career journey.
The artist left the record label in 2019 amid reported disagreements with Olamide. In a 2022 interview, Lyta shared that external influences played a role in his decision to depart, stating, “I heard a lot of things from friends and people in the industry. I didn’t know who or what to believe, and some people eventually got into my head.”
The complexity of the music industry, coupled with interpersonal dynamics, often gives rise to misunderstandings and miscommunications.
Lyta’s openness about his desire to reconcile with YBNL Nation showcases a willingness to bridge the gap and underscores the significance of the label in his artistic journey.
Revisiting his roots with YBNL Nation, Lyta is not only seeking a professional reunion but is also expressing a desire for mentorship and collaboration with Olamide.
The impact of YBNL Nation on Lyta’s career is undeniable, and his plea reflects a recognition of the label’s pivotal role in shaping his trajectory within the music industry.
As the story unfolds, the prospect of a reunion between Lyta and YBNL Nation adds an intriguing chapter to the ongoing narrative of artistic relationships and the evolving dynamics within the Nigerian music scene.
The resilience of communication channels and the willingness to mend fences exemplify the maturity and growth of artists in navigating the nuanced landscape of the music industry.
Lyta’s heartfelt appeal serves as a testament to the enduring bond between artists and their record labels, highlighting the potential for reconciliation and collaborative endeavors in the ever-evolving world of Nigerian music.
