All you need to know about asake

 Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter born in the late 1990s.

Asake's stage name is a tribute to his mother, whose first name is Asake; clearly, he adores his mother.

Asake has been making music since he was a student at the great Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, Osun state.

After releasing "Mr. Money" in 2020, followed by a remix with Zlatan and Peruzzi, Asake's musical career took off. "Mr. Money" and "Lady" received some attention, but not to the mainstream extent.

Asake continued to release singles such as "Medusa" and "Yan Yan" before signing with YBNL in February 2022.

Asake shot to fame after releasing his hit single “Omo Ope” in January 2022 featuring Olamide and since the hit, Asake never missed.

In February 2022, Asake released his debut extended play “Ololade Asake”, which featured Asake‘s breakthrough song “Omo Ope” Another hit single from the extended play was "Sungba," which was remixed a month later by Burna Boy.

Asaké is under contract with YBNL NATION and Empire Distribution.

“Asake” is now a stage name across the board but he was formerly known as MEDOO and he released a song titled JOHA under that stage name while he was at the university.

Also, the song JOHA is on the tracklist of his recently released debut album MMWTV.

In his quest for fame, Asake met the well-known Nigerian comedian Broda Shaggi, who included him in some of his skits; he was also a backup singer for Broda Shaggi at the time.

Asake frequently employs uptempo Afro and Amapiano-styled production, and his songs contain elements of Fuji.

Another interesting fact about Asake that you might not know is that he was a dancer before going into music and is a big fan of Wizkid.

"Medoo" was full of praises for Wizkid in one of his old Twitter posts, and there was a video that recently surfaced online in which the singer is seen praising Wizkid.

According to Asake, he had been texting Olamide since 2020, but he didn't get a response from him until he released "Omo Ope," at which point Olamide reached out to him via phone call and demanded that they meet, and when he arrived, Baddo simply asked if he wanted to join the YBNL family, and that's how he joined the YBNL family.

Asake has been making history in the music industry since the release of his debut album "MMWTV." The album has been topping different countries' music charts since its release, and MMWTV is the first afrobeat debut album to debut on the UK official album chart.

Following his UK tour, Asake has sold out the 02 Academy 5000 capacity three times.
