One of the core values of the label and its CEO Olamide Baddo was to pick up talents from the streets, nurture their growth into stardom in such a way that someday they get to pick up another talent to grow. This cycle was built to go on and on and this saw to the emergence of Lil Kesh, Viktoh, Adekunle Gold. These 3 acts got signed into the YBNL family and ever since rose to stardom. They individual

Below are 8 times some Nigerian pastors have allowed the devil to use them. 1.
