Nigerian music star Asake, whose real name is Ololade Ahmed, has been a constant topic of conversation on social media. After a publicized family feud stirred reactions, critics are now focusing on his career, questioning his trajectory since parting ways with YBNL, the record label owned by Olamide.
One of the loudest voices in this discussion is Nigerian activist and social commentator VeryDarkMan (VDM). Taking to social media, VDM openly expressed his concerns about Asake’s career, suggesting that the singer has been struggling since his departure from YBNL.
Career Challenges Post-YBNL
Asake’s breakout success under YBNL was undeniable. With chart-topping hits like “Sungba,” “Peace Be Unto You (PBUY),” and his debut album “Mr. Money With The Vibe,” he quickly rose to prominence. However, VDM and some fans argue that since his reported split from the label, Asake’s releases have lacked the same spark.
VDM remarked that Asake’s sound has become repetitive and that his recent songs have not achieved the same impact as his earlier hits. While the singer remains popular, critics believe the absence of Olamide’s mentorship and YBNL’s influence might be affecting his career growth.
Family Feud and Public Perception
Adding to the turbulence is the controversy surrounding Asake’s family feud, which has been widely discussed online. Though details remain unclear, the personal issues have further fueled conversations about his overall well-being and focus. Some fans worry that these distractions are taking a toll on his music.
Fan Reactions
Despite the criticism, many of Asake’s supporters remain optimistic about his resilience and talent. Some argue that artists often go through creative phases and that Asake is simply exploring his sound independently. Others suggest that even without YBNL’s backing, his core fan base will continue to support his music.
Asake has yet to publicly address the concerns, but all eyes remain on his next move. Will he bounce back with a fresh sound, or will the critiques further challenge his career? Time will tell.
