Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has recounted some of the challenges he faced during his early days as a rising artiste.
In an interview with Famous TV, the Sungba crooner recalled that, at one point in his career, show promoters rejected him because he sang mostly in Yoruba.
He said that looking back now, he is glad he didn’t change his sound or stop singing in Yoruba despite the rejections he endured.
He credited his resilience and perseverance for his growth.
“How I got to where I am today is by God’s grace, self-belief, consistency, and endurance. At some point, a lot of people said no to me; they didn’t allow me to perform at shows because I spoke Yoruba. But thank God I didn’t stop, and I kept believing in myself.
“Now, look at where I am today. I am so happy for myself,” the singer said.
