    “Olamide didn’t compensate me for using my name”- Yemi Lover

    Published on

    Veteran Nollywood filmmaker Yemi My Lover is in the news after recounting his experience with music star Olamide Badoo.

    Recently, the movie producer, whose real name is Ayebo Yemi Solomon, was a guest on a show where he shared that he had never been compensated by the YBNL boss for using his name in a song.

    According to Yemi My Lover, Olamide was the first celebrity to sing with his name, and he was very happy with it. He explained that if he wasn’t blessed, people like Davido and other skitmaker wouldn’t have also made songs with his name.

    Speaking further, Yemi My Lover recounted how Fuji musician Pasuma asked him whether Olamide ever compensated him for singing with his name. After responding in the negative, the music star put a call through to Olamide in the presence of the filmmaker. “Pasuma said: “Yemo, did Olamide compensate you for using your name in his song?” I said no and that I had never met him before, we don’t have each other’s number. Then Pasuma called him on the phone.”

    Yemi My Lover narrated how Olamide apologised and told him to collect his phone number from Pasuma so that they could discuss. However, that was the last time he was able to speak with the YBNL boss.
