Sh*ck Revelation: Asake Claims Promoters Refused Him Stage Time Over Yoruba Language

Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has shared some of the struggles he faced with show promoters during the early stages of his career.

The “Sungba” crooner, speaking in an interview with Famous TV, credited his perseverance and determination for his rise in the music industry.

Asake revealed that some promoters rejected him because he performed primarily in Yoruba. Despite the setbacks, he remained true to his sound.

He said, “How I got to where I am today is by God’s grace, self-belief, consistency, and endurance. At some point, a lot of people said no to me; they didn’t allow me to perform at shows because I spoke Yoruba. But thank God I didn’t stop, and I kept believing in myself. Now, look at where I am today. I am so happy for myself.”

In related news, Dami WasiAyinde, daughter of Fuji maestro King WasiAyinde Marshall (KWAM 1), has dismissed rumours linking her romantically to Asake.

The speculation began after the pair shared a photo from an event, with Dami captioning it “Mr Money and Mrs Money,” which fueled dating rumours.

However, in a statement on her Instagram page on Monday, Dami clarified that the picture was taken during her first meeting with the singer and denied any romantic involvement.
