Singer Olamide has been accused by actor Yemi Ayebo, better known by his stage name “Yemi My Lover,” of not returning his calls after appropriating his name in his songs.
This was said by the Nollywood star in a social media video interview.
When questioned about whether he is paid by singers and content producers for utilizing his name “Yemi My Lover” in their songs and content, he said that he has never been paid by any of them.
He claimed that despite contacting Olamide via Fuji legend Pasuma, he did not return his calls for six months.
Yemi further revealed that using his name in contents and music gave him more popularity.
“Olamide was the first to use my name in his song , and I was so happy. My name is blessed by God, that’s why both Davido, Olamide and others including skit makers are using it.
“Pasuma said Yemo did Olamide settle you for singing with your name? And I told him no, I have never even seen him before not to talk of him settling me. We don’t have each other’s contact. And immediately Pasuma picked up his phone and called him that I came to report him.
Pasuma was instructed by Olamide to hand me the phone so he could talk to me. On our first conversation, he instructed me to get his number from Pasuma and give him a call. I called Olamide for over six months after Pasuma gave me his number, but he didn’t answer, and I messaged him but he didn’t respond,” he stated.
