Nigerian rapper and founder of YBNL, Olamide
Rapper and singer Olamide has announced a reunion concert featuring former and current artistes associated with his record label, YBNL Nation.
The concert, titled ‘YBNL: The Reunion’, is scheduled for December 18 as part of Future Fest 2026 in Lagos.
Other artistes billed for the performance include Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, Fireboy DML, Young Jonn, music producer Pheelz and DJ Enimoney.
Olamide announced the event in an Instagram video, bringing together artistes who have contributed to the growth of the record label at different stages.
Adekunle Gold and Lil Kesh gained prominence under YBNL during its early years, while Fireboy DML and Young Jonn became associated with the label in its later years.
Pheelz also contributed to YBNL’s musical catalogue as a producer, working on several records associated with the label’s artistes, while DJ Enimoney served as its official disc jockey.
Olamide founded YBNL, an acronym for Yahoo Boy No Laptop, in 2012 and used the platform to promote emerging talent in the Nigerian music industry.
Several artistes who have passed through the label have gone on to establish successful individual careers, making the December performance an opportunity to reunite some of its notable names on one stage.
The announcement comes months after Olamide unveiled plans for a headline concert at London’s O2 Arena, scheduled for March 25, 2027. (The Nation)
