History
YBNL Nation was founded during Olamide's time at ID Cabasa's Coded Tunes. Alongside Pheelz, he wanted a platform that supported collaboration among artists and producers. Olamide also used his growing earnings to mentor emerging talent, saying he needed to "spend money on people." This approach helped YBNL Nation develop several notable Nigerian artists. On 19 February 2020, YBNL Nation signed a distribution and publishing deal with Empire Distribution.Artists
