“Asake music gives you wings,” he captioned the post.
The appearance further highlights Asake’s expanding global reach, as the music star continues to make inroads into international arenas beyond live performances.
Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, first gained recognition in 2020 with the hit song “Lady” and joined YBNL in February 2022.
His discography includes three studio albums: Mr Money With The Vibes (2022), Work of Art (2023), and Lungu Boy (2024).
The Afrobeats star earned a nomination for the 2025 Grammy Awards in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category but lost out to Tems.
In February, he released his debut single, “Why Love,” under his new label, Giran Republic, marking a fresh phase in his career following his departure from YBNL Nation, the record label founded by Olamide.
