10. Phyno


Truth be told, Olamide played a huge role in Phyno's success story in the music industry. As a talented yoruba indigenous rapper, Olamide successfully used his already established brand to introduce Phyno as another talented Igbo indigenous rapper.
Tracks like Ghost Mode, Dope money and many other hit collabos that Phyno had with Olamide at the early stage of his career made him a Big Star that he is today.

11. Temmie Owvasa
Temmie was a rather unknown singer uploading freestyles on Instagram before she caught the attention of the YBNL boss. The wind of fame blew her into limelight the moment she was introduced as YBNL princess by Olamide in April 2016.
12. Pepenazi
After few weeks of dropping a rather unpopular single titled “LOW”, Olamide lighted up his career by helping him cook up a street certified anthem “ILLEGAL” which is the reason many people can relate with the brand Pepenazi up till today.

Other speakers for the event included health professional and MC Yaw Ampofo Adomako, public relations expert Isaac Sosito, as well as broadcasters Gideon Kwame Sarkodie and Bretuoba Kwabena.
