Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold has announced an upcoming collaboration with rapper and music executive Olamide, signaling a reunion between the two artists years after their time together at YBNL Nation.
The track, titled “Formation,” is scheduled for release on April 9, according to a post shared by Adekunle Gold on X (formerly Twitter). The singer described the collaboration as their first joint effort, sparking excitement among fans.
Adekunle Gold gained prominence in 2015 with his breakout single “Sade” during his stint under Olamide’s YBNL Nation label, where he was signed between 2014 and 2016.
Following his exit from the label, the singer has consistently acknowledged Olamide’s role in shaping his early career, often expressing appreciation for the opportunity and support he received.
The forthcoming single is expected to fuse Adekunle Gold’s signature melodic sound with Olamide’s street-hop energy, offering a blend of styles that reflects both artists’ musical evolution.
The release has already generated anticipation within the Afrobeats scene, as listeners look forward to the duo’s first official collaboration since their professional split.
