During
a question and answer session via her Instagram handle, the singer was asked by
a fan if she still keeps in touch with the YBNL boss.
In
response to the question, the young lady alleged that although Olamide gave a
platform, he rejected all the deals and show that she was offered. Ovwasa also
alleged that her former boss stopped her from releasing songs.

She
claimed, “That man brought me to Lagos from Ilorin as an 18-year-old, put me on
a platform then proceeded to reject every show I got, every offer I got.
Stopped me from releasing songs, kept me in his house with his wife (who spoke
to me like I was garbage in front of her friends) and kid in the name of
‘family’. Put my face on the wall, on an album where the ‘men’ were allowed to
be people.
“He
messed my mind up then tried to compensate for it. I let it die because I do
not enjoy talking to his minions or being associated with them. Why would I be
in touch with him? You see all your idols and think everyone should worship
them, but forget that they are real people capable of doing real things.”
Replying
to another question by a fan who asked, “Would you still love to do a
collaboration with Olamide after the whole saga has been resolved,” Ovwasa said
she does not want to be associated with men who use their position to hurt
others.
The singer said, “My trauma is not a ‘whole
saga’. You all forget that people feel things and what might seem like gist to
you is actually somebody’s lived reality.
“I don’t crave fame and I do not want to be associated with men who use their
positions to hurt others while carefully curating their public presence to reflect
values they do not uphold.”
She
further hinted at the kind of people she would like to do collaborations with.
“Might
seem surprising to you but I do not want to be associated with your faves. They
are people of questionable character and I have no space in my life for
anything that does not serve me. I have tasted fame, been around
multimillionaires and I can tell you for a fact, I don’t rate them.
“I
would love to collaborate with women, with artistes from marginalised
communities, with nonbinary artistes, queer people; people who can understand
art beyond capitalism,” Ovwasa said.
