Nigerian rapper Olamide is set to reunite some of the biggest names associated with his record label, YBNL Nation, for a special concert tagged YBNL: The Reunion in Lagos on December 18, 2026.

The reunion will feature Olamide alongside former and current YBNL acts, including Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, Fireboy DML, Young Jonn, Pheelz and DJ Enimoney.

The concert is scheduled to hold at Oasis Ground, Coastal Road, Victoria Island, as part of Future Fest 2026, a cultural festival celebrating music, fashion, film, art, food and technology.

Music platform NotJustOk announced the reunion in a post on X on Tuesday, November 10, writing: “YBNL STARS ARE SET TO REUNITE THIS DECEMBER.”

The announcement has generated excitement among fans, particularly those who followed the record label’s rise and the individual careers of its former members.

Founded by Olamide in 2012, YBNL Nation became a significant platform for emerging Nigerian music talents, helping introduce several artistes who have since established successful careers in the entertainment industry. The label’s influence on Nigerian music has been reflected in the success of several of its former signees.

Adekunle Gold was among the label’s early signings, gaining recognition with his 2015 hit single, Sade, before releasing his debut album, Gold, in 2016.

Lil Kesh also rose to prominence under the label with popular records including Shoki and Efejoku, becoming one of the prominent faces of YBNL’s earlier generation.

Fireboy DML joined the label in 2018 and gained widespread recognition following the release of his debut album, Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps, in 2019. The album featured popular songs such as Jealous, What If I Say and King.

Meanwhile, Young Jonn and Pheelz contributed to the label’s musical identity through their production work before establishing themselves as recording artistes. Both producers later joined forces on Jelo. DJ Enimoney also became closely associated with YBNL as its official disc jockey.

Over the years, several of the artistes have pursued independent musical careers, releasing projects and building audiences beyond their association with the label. Adekunle Gold’s departure from YBNL and subsequent musical evolution reflect this transition.

The reunion will bring together different generations of YBNL’s musical family, offering fans an opportunity to revisit songs and collaborations that contributed to the label’s influence on Nigerian contemporary music. Olamide’s contribution to the development of emerging artistes has remained a significant part of his musical legacy.

Future Fest 2026 is scheduled to run from December 11 to 20 in Lagos, with the YBNL reunion among its announced musical attractions.
