Asake

Ahmed Ololade, the chart-topping Nigerian artist better known as Asake, has opened up about how 2020 served as a transformative chapter that redirected his musical journey.

The award-winning performer reflected on facing obstacles that initially appeared as stumbling blocks but eventually propelled his career forward.

In an exclusive conversation with Korty EO, the Afrobeat sensation revealed how those testing times cultivated resilience and shaped his artistic perspective.

That pivotal year witnessed Asake dropping the career-defining single that would catapult him into mainstream recognition.

His breakthrough emerged from persistent dedication, illustrating how challenges can unexpectedly pave the way for success.

The “Lonely At The Top” crooner also discussed his ambitions to take his sound beyond African borders.

He disclosed his long-standing aspiration to establish himself in Los Angeles, seeing it as a strategic move toward international exposure.

Upon arriving in California, he immersed himself in the creative environment, channeling his experiences into musical innovation.

In his own words: “2020 was my refining fire. Life gave me the ultimate reality check. You know when heaven gives you a taste of success then pulls it back? That was my 2020 experience.”

“Back then, I didn’t realize it was preparation for something greater. The universe gave me ‘Mr Money,’ then tested my patience before the real blessings came.”

“Los Angeles had always called to me creatively. Even before my breakthrough, I told my inner circle California was part of my destiny. When I finally landed there, I knew – this is where I’m meant to create my legacy.”
