Lil Kesh was signed in April 2014 after his introduction by Viktoh to the YBNL boss. He has since been on the rise, with successive hits gaining mass acceptance.  The rapper also released his debut album “Y.A.G.I”, earlier in 2016.

But new reports say Lil Kesh has split ways with YBNL Records, due to the expiration of his contract. According to sources who spoke to NET, Lil Kesh was signed on a two-year deal, with the intent of Olamide not to hold on to the artiste for long, but to groom him into becoming his own man. Tweets by Olamide in June 2015, corroborates this. See below

With more successes in the pop market, Lil Kesh has since moved out of Olamide’s residence on Lagos Mainland, relocating to his personal home on the Island (Chevron Drive), where he set up a personal studio to enhance production of his music. According to sources, it was in that studio that he wrapped up work on his “Y.A.G.I” album. The LP was released in March 2016, under the YBNL imprint.

Reports say Lil Kesh is working on creating a personal record label and movement to cater for his career needs. The rapper’s contract is reported to have expired in the previous weeks, and both parties have amicably moved on without beef. Olamide and Lil Kesh are said to be ‘on good terms’.

“Olamide has been training them all to stand on their own and Kesh was the first to blow that’s why he’s the first to move on”, A source told NET, with further revelations about the artiste personally funding his recent videos and other projects.

Pulse reached out to a rep at YBNL who denied the reports, stating that it is just a rumor.“Everything you have read is false. They are all rumors. Lil Kesh is signed to YBNL on a contract, and it has not ended,” he said.

Speaking with Pulse TV, the rapper said his benchmark for successwould be signing new artistesand seeing them emerge big just like what Olamide has done for him.
