‘How I Got Signed To Olamide’s Record Label’ - YBNL Princess Reveals

In April 2016, YBNL leader, Olamide signed the first ever
female act to his label.
The signing came barely a week after his protege, Lil
Kesh publicly parted ways with YBNL to set up his own
YAGI Records. With the signing, Temmie Ovwasa fondly
called YBNL Princess began her journey to stardom.
In a recent interview with Punch, the Delta State born
singer narrated how she was contacted by Olamide on
social media.
In her words:-
‘I used to sing and record covers of different songs,
which I post on Instagram.
In August last year, I uploaded a particular video of a
song and realised that Olamide had liked all my videos.
People erroneously thought I tagged Olamide in the
video but I have never believed in tagging celebrities to
get recognition’.
She continued to say, ‘a few minutes later he sent me a
direct message requesting for my phone number.
At first, I thought it was a scam until I confirmed that it
was indeed Olamide’s official Instagram account. I sent
my number and we began talking. From the moment
Olamide sent me a direct message, I knew something
was going to happen; I am very intuitive. Getting signed
on with YBNL Records is a blessing that gave me my big
break’.
Asked if she’s in a relationship, Temmie says, ‘ am in a
relationship with my guitar for now because it is
supportive of my career and an indelible part of it.
My dream man must be supportive of my music career
and mature enough not to be threatened by my fame. He
must also not see me as a competition and he must be
grounded in God.
I may date a musician if we both share similar values’.
