Ahmed Ololade (ASAKE) also known as (MR MONEY) is a fast rising singer-songwriter in Nigeria. Born in the 90’s and raised by Yoruba parents in Lagos Island, Nigeria.
His journey into music was purely accidental as he started off as a dancer and worked with a myriad of dance companies and theatre outfits in school before trying his hand in music.
He frontlined a few shows in school, his Afro-Fusion style and the energy he brought on stage made him the fans favorite. Asake got the industry's ears tingling in 2020, when his freestyle Lady (2020) went viral, with reposts from top Nigerian influencers like Tunde Ednut, Sydneytalker, NastyBlaq, Broda Shaggi and many more.
Asake’s music is mostly centered around his lifestyle and his name which means (Specially Chosen) and reflects in his music.
His first single for the year 2020 (Mr Money), has him re-emphasizing confidence in himself and being true to his name.
Lungu Boy is the third studio album by Nigerian singer Asake. A follow-up to his previous album, Work of Art(2023), the album was released on 9 August 2024 through YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution.
The album also contains guest appearances from Wizkid, Travis Scott, Stormzy, Central Cee and Ludmilla, alongside production from P.Priime, Magicsticks, Mike Dean, Sarz and Sak Pas.
