Former YBNL artiste, Xino, has picketed his former boss, Olamide, aka ‘Baddoo’, for lacking managerial experience, calling him an immature and inexperienced record label CEO who needs to up his ante on the business aspect of music and artiste management. Xino insisted that Olamide and other CEOs need to grow up business-wise. Olamide is immature, I did not beg him to sign me to YBNL – Xino.
He made this known in a chat with Vanguard, revealing it was one of the reasons he parted ways with the record label, YBNL. The fearless singer also moved on to correct the impression that his music career was dying because he left the Olamide’s record label.

Here’s what Xino said: “YBNL management and other labels in Nigeria need to adopt an entrepreneurial system that focuses on artist development because there is zero fan base in Nigeria. Once any new sensation comes out we all switch to that one. Beyonce’s husband, Jayz, is an undisputed boss because he understands this concept and creates acts that last to create others too.
“I’m engaging in other money-making options, music is just an option and one that I love very much; I never asked to be signed on to YBNL, so I’m not bothered as much. But for the sake of those who dig my songs I’m coming with something soon, something cooking with Kiddominant is dropping soon”, he revealed.
Recall that in 2016, the ‘Nakam’ crooner revealed how Olamide made me feel like the most impatient fool.

Xino was unveiled alongside Chinko Ekun by Olamide’s YBNL new acts in January 2015 after which he released just two songs (‘TTYL’ and ‘Nakam’, both produced by Pheelz) in March 2015 and since then nothing has been heard from him.
Xino seemed to have had enough and took to social media to announce he’s no longer with YBNL in a strongly worded post. However, shortly after his rant and exit from YBNL, Xino, probably returned from a journey of sober reflections and apologised to Olamide and the YBNL team.
To this recent development in which he tagged Olamide as immature, his former boss is yet to respond.
