Nigerian singer Temmie Ovwasa, previously known as YBNL Princess, has shared her challenging experience while under the mentorship of record label boss Olamide and his wife, Aisha Adebukunmi.
The Kwara-born singer has alleged that during her time at YBNL, the record label boss’s wife treated her as an errand girl.
Furthermore, she claimed that Adebukunmi publicly humiliated her whenever they were seen together and even referred to her as poor. Ovwasa also accused the former YBNL in-house producer, Pheelz, of carelessly misplacing a drive that contained her unreleased album.
Her allegations followed the controversial death of Mohbad. Ovwasa pointed out that Mohbad’s death had been “triggering” for her, recalling how years of distress had almost driven her to suicide.
Taking to her Instagram story, Temmie Ovwasa expressed her feelings by stating,
“I got into the music industry to sing, Olamide carried me on his head and paraded me as the ‘princess’ but once the cameras were off I was in a house with his disrespectful a$$ classist wife who made it her mission to remind me that I was a poor girl that they brought from Ilorin to change her life. I’d go out with this woman and she’d humiliate me publicly! When people ask for pictures she made it her mission to remind me that I was broke. It’s not enough to ‘help’ people, don’t add to their problems!!!! I kuku never tagged him on the video that he saw that he signed me. I never cared to be associated with you people. I really just wanted to sing! I recorded over 25 songs and Pheelz opened his wide mouth to tell me he misplaced the hard drive. 25 song. I spent 5 years [at YBNL] and released 4 songs! I have recorded and released three albums since I left these people, and I have so many songs I could drop an album every week!”
