One of the first things you notice upon meeting Asake is his name—all five letters of the Nigerian singer’s stage moniker are tattooed in big, unmissable ink across his neck.

For another entertainer, this might imply bold vanity and solipsism; for the 29-year-old artist, it symbolizes determination. “In Nigeria, if you have a tattoo on your neck, you can’t work anywhere,” Asake explains. “I can’t work for any company. I can’t sell anything.” Asake got the tattoo at a time when he felt especially discouraged, beaten down, and unsure about this music thing. “I was tired,” he recalls. “I felt like, I don’t want to keep trying.” His response to those feelings of doubt? To double down and give himself no other option. To get the tattoo as he was still becoming the Asake we know now—the chart--topping Afrobeats singer poised to be the genre’s next big crossover star—was to essentially lock himself into staying the course, and conquering. There could be no other move.

Much has been made of Asake’s so-called meteoric rise, how he burst onto the Afrobeats scene with his debut album, 2022’s Mr. Money With the Vibe, and hasn’t stopped climbing to new heights since. It didn’t feel so quick to Asake. “You have to understand: I got there in two years, but I’ve been working for years,” he says. “People are counting the days you’re successful. They don’t count the days you’ve been working toward it. Nobody gives a fuck about that.”

We’re sitting in the rooftop lounge at the West Hollywood Edition hotel, overlooking an uncharacteristically dreary city wrapping up its fifth straight day of rain. Asake’s spirits are hardly dimmed. He just attended his first Grammys ceremony, where he was nominated for the inaugural awarding of best African music performance. He lost to Tyla, for her inescapable smash hit “Water,” but he isn’t pressed. “It’s not a loss for me,” he tells me, explaining that he was excited to be there and soak in the energy of a new experience. “I might just get more next year. But in my head I was not even taking it too seriously. I appreciate the fact that they nominated me—I won’t lie, that’s a lot to me. Even me, I didn’t see that coming this soon. I’m relaxed about it. Maybe because I know there will be a day that win will come.”

Asake, who was born Ololade Ahmed—Asake is his mother’s name—has got his dreads tucked neatly under a Dad hat that he’s pulled low, just above his big, piercing eyes. Emblazoned on the hat is the phrase “I Got Lucky.” Asake’s good fortune started when the songs he’d been making in school, and then out of it, gained traction in Lagos. Gauging the response, he made more songs, including the track that would soon become his breakout hit, “Mr. Money,” which caught the attention of Olamide, the veteran Nigerian recording artist and label founder responsible for helping many Afrobeats artists achieve mainstream success. Asake put out an EP in 2022 with an Olamide feature and the hit song “Sungba,” which teed up a major-label deal: Empire wanted a full-length album, and quickly.

Afrobeats was suddenly the hottest sound on the global music scene, gaining rapid momentum in the US with the mainstream success of stars like Burna Boy, Tems, and Wizkid. Of course, pop music has a nasty habit of narrowing the playing field when a subgenre goes wide; tons of new artists bubble up, but there’s apparently room for only so many superstar representatives at one time. How, then, has Asake broken through? For one, his music is a thrilling mash-up of several different regional influences: He sings in his native Yoruba tongue, while weaving in South African amapiano house sounds alongside the typical up-tempo rhythms of Afrobeats to create a style closer to fuji, the Yoruba music popularized by artists like Barrister in the 1970s, whom Asake cites along with Fela Kuti, as an influence. Reverse engineering a new sound out of several was hardly his intent but rather just a natural product of his upbringing. “My music is just me,” Asake says. “It’s not something I can really explain. The thing is, I feel like the kind of music I listened to while growing up shapes who I am.”

He tells me that he’s in a constant search for higher evolution. “I always want to step it up,” Asake says, growing animated. “And I love it.” He’s talking now of his creative process and the hunger to grow as an artist. “It’s a bit stressful. Trying to get better is like having armor and scissors, and carving yourself. So it takes bone, it takes flesh. But at the end of the day, I know what always makes sense for me is, after all the stress, when I drop it and people say, ‘Wow.’ ” That, he says, is the feeling he’s chasing.

On the stage Asake is chasing a particular sort of vibe too. His live-wire concert style has earned his shows a reputation for their grandiosity and energy. He plays with a full band, and the videos of his shows that go viral feature things like Asake throwing himself into crowds, or him smashing a guitar.

A born performer, Asake used fashion as a kid to express himself: “Putting pieces together, trying to be different among everybody.” That spirit persists in a wild sartorial style that today features bursts of bright colors and funky remixes of traditional pieces—like the pinstripe suit and expressionist--style tie he wore on his last album cover. It’s chaos tempered by taste; proof of his talent for stirring styles together.

His approach to music is similar. Inspiration came first from his parents and the culture he grew up in, but Asake was drawn to dancing before singing, and says he has no great desire to be in front of the camera. At university he studied art, theater, and film directing, and taught dance. He jokes with bracing honesty that he switched from dancing to singing because that’s where the real money is. Lamenting the lack of opportunities for dancers, I point out that there should be a Grammy Award acknowledging choreography; without missing a beat Asake dryly retorts that if that were the case, “they might just reward one white guy who started dancing two years ago.”

Despite his high-octane performance style, offstage Asake is reserved—eager to recede into the background and be left to his own devices, a showman who would rather keep to himself. He seems allergic to a lot of the behavior you might associate with ascendant stardom. When we talk about his Grammys experience, I jokingly ask if he was one of the many celebrities queued up in the theme-park-length line that formed around Beyoncé during every commercial break. “I’ll never do that,” he says, laughing. “I love Beyoncé, but I’ll never stress myself for any human, or make myself feel important in front of any human.”

He prides himself on his ability to read people, and their energies, almost instantly—a talent that seems so far to have been helpful in achieving success in the music business. “I can tell when I see somebody with pure mind, pure heart, good intentions,” he says, thinking of an interaction recently caught on video as he met 21 Savage for the first time. The commotion of the moment made hearing and talking impossible, but that didn’t matter. “I didn’t understand one thing he said to me, because there was a lot going on,” Asake says. “But I could tell he’s a very real person and he’s my kind of person.”

Given the enormous influence of Afrobeats right now, it’s easy to surmise that if Asake maintains his current trajectory, he could become one of the hottest singers on the planet before too long. The artistic evolution that occurred, quickly, between his first and second albums was striking to critics. The debut, Mr. Money, was marked by a wave of feel-good anthems, while last summer’s Work of Art showed Asake wrestling in real time with the changes wrought by money, fame, and success. Most interestingly, he felt compelled to deflate the mounting mythmaking that was developing around him. About the debut record, he says, “I wanted to be myself—that guy that wants money, that wants to go to the strip club, that wants to party, smoke, chill.” With the follow---up, he wanted to plumb a little deeper. “People don’t really know me because I’m quiet,” he says. “So everybody started seeing me as mystery. Work of Art is just for them to know me. You have to understand I’m human, but you can’t just deny the heart in me.”

He’s at work on his third album now, surely aware that it will be greeted with even more anticipation thanks to the Grammy nomination and his growing acclaim. He appears thrilled by the chance to change and grow and defy expectations. “I’ll never limit myself on one thing. I might wake up tomorrow and tell you I want to do an all reggae album. Maybe that’s where God just directs me to,” he says with a shrug. “For me to be able to do Mr. Money and people love it, that means it is inside me. It’s just for me to try to always bring it out, and be focused and always do it. It is inside you. I always say any artist that make a hit song—they can always make 40,000 hit songs. But it’s just like, if you forget yourself, then you can’t make the song again. The problem is not to forget who you are.”

He returns to that idea like a mantra. It’s a chief concern of Asake’s, and has been before he started to get famous: His first tattoo, even before the neck tat, was the phrase “Stay real,” written across both of his hands. He’s noticed that it’s a goal that’s made harder in an environment like Los Angeles, a place that can “trigger you to be more than what you are” and where he spends time for work when he’s not in Lagos. “But I feel like everybody’s going through the same thing in this place. People find it hard to be normal, to be original.” Asake tells me that his ultimate prayer is that he makes his dreams of fame come true, without ever losing the common touch. He wants to be “so rich and so big and so powerful,” he says, while retaining the skill to “be around people, and be comfortable.”

Maybe it’s a luxury afforded to someone whose dividends seem to have paid off quickly, but Asake seems remarkably relaxed for someone at the precipice of such a big moment. He admits that he’s not in a hurry. “Anything that requires time is going to be the best,” he says. “I’m telling you, my bro. What people are scared of is patience. People are scared. But if you can absorb, if you can be patient and have time, he who eats last, eats best.”

“I’m just on my journey,” he says serenely as the last little bit of light peeking through the storm clouds fades away to dusk. “If I tell you I know the things I’m planning or waiting for, I’m just lying.” Now we’re starting to test the limit of believable nonchalance for an artist this successful, I point out. He relents—there is, of course, a loose plan that he’s keeping close to the vest. “I can’t sit down and be telling you my five-year plan,” he says, smirking mischievously. “But, I do have one. To be in this position, you have to have a plan.”

Asake Biography

–Father

–mother, popular questions, asake basic information.

Ahmed Ololade, famously known as Asake, is a Nigerian Afrobeats and Amapiano singer and songwriter. Asake is signed to legendary Nigerian singer and rapper Olamide’s YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution. Asake’s stage name pays homage to his mother, whose first name is Asake. He first broke into the scene with the hit single “Lady,” released in 2020. He has since released more hits, including “Sungba,” “Sungba Remix,” featuring Burna Boy, “Peace Be Unto You,” “Omo Ope,” “Palazzo,” and more.

Ololade studied Theatre and Performing Arts at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. He began making music professionally in 2015, fusing elements of Hip Hop, RnB, Amapiano, Afrobeats, and Fuji to form his sound. He started as a backup singer on Nigerian comedian and Broda Shaggi’s band. They collaborated on the song “Star” in 2019. His first single, “Lady,” became a success. The song went viral on social media. He released “Mr. Money,” which earned him the nickname. Following the release of “Omo Ope,” he gained Olamide’s attention. He has since signed to Olamide’s YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution and dropped two hugely successful projects, “Ololade Asake EP” and his debut album “Mr. Money With The Vibe.”

Ahmed “Asake” Ololade was born in Lagos State, Nigeria, on January 13th, 1997. He turned 27 years old on January 13, 2022. Ololade was born and raised in a Muslim household. He has not shared many details about his family and his upbringing. The only public thing about his family is that they are of Yoruba descent, and they all live in Lagos, Nigeria.

Asake’s parents are Muslims who religiously raised their son. Asake was raised by his parents, who we suspect are still together.

Not much is known about his father except that he is an entrepreneur. He is also a businessman.

Ahmed Ololade’s mother is a teacher. Her name is Asake. He goes by the name “Asake” in homage to his mother. He has been said to be very close to her. According to reports, he got the nickname in secondary school due to his dance talent, which he used to wow his classmates. It stuck after a while.

Ahmed Ololade was born in Lagos State, Nigeria. He is Yoruba, one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Asake is one of the 21 percent Yoruba people in the country. He is also a proud Yoruba who showcases his language in his music. Some claim that non-Yoruba indigenes have been forced to learn the language due to Asake’s music. His music blends a mixture of the popular Nigerian pidgin and his local Yoruba language.

Information about Asake’s family is not available online. He has kept details about his private life away from the public. There are no details about his siblings or someone related to him. At least none yet.

While Asake may be the most talked-about musician in Africa and the hottest right now, he seems to keep his romantic relationships away from the public eye. He is yet to unveil anyone as his woman. He has never shared stories about a past flame or someone he may have a crush on. He has kept everything strictly about the music.

The exact estimate of Asake’s net worth is unknown to the public. Neither the singer nor anyone on his team has not shared details about it with the public. However, Asake has had so much success since dropping his first hit. He has dominated the Nigerian party scenes and performed gigs all over the country. He has also toured the world and sold out shows in various countries. This proves that Asake is currently one of the most bankable artists on the continent today.

He is also one of Africa’s most booked musicians, appearing in the lineup for popular festivals and music events at home and abroad. Asake has also amassed over a billion career streams across all credits. The royalties from his music will heap into a fortune. He sold out the O2 Academy Brixton three times. Asake is the first brand ambassador for Pari Match in Nigeria. There is no doubt that he has so much money in the bank.

While Asake is known to be cryptic with the things he shares, seldom sharing videos or photos of his personal life or belongings, he once shared an image of his car. While announcing his new house on social media, he was spotted standing next to a white Range Rover. The car was packed just in front of the house, proving that it also belonged to him.

Ololade’s meteoric rise to fame came with many blessings. He announced on social media on August 18, 2022, that he had bought his first house. Asake shared a photo of himself standing next to his new home captioned with an excerpt from his label mate Fireboy DML’s song “Glory” lyrics, “went from hustling for free bed space to investing in real estate.” Several Nigerian media outlets reported that the “Loaded” star bought the home in the prestigious Lekki area in Lagos, Nigeria. Lekki is a well-known residential area for influential Nigerian celebrities.

No competition in YBNL or between Asake, myself – Fireboy

Afrobeats singer, Fireboy DML has dispelled speculations of competition between him and his record label mate, Asake.

According to the ‘Peru’ crooner, there is no competition in their record label, YBNL Nation.

In a recent interview with Max FM, Lagos, Fireboy explained that there exists a harmonious working relationship between him, Asake and their label boss, ace rapper, Olamide.
