Nigerian afrobeat singer, Ahmed Ololade popularly known as Asake, has explained why he sings majorly in Yoruba language.
The former YBNL signee made this revelation during a recent live chat with fans on his Instagram page.
Responding to question from a curious fan on his preference for his native language, Asake disclosed that he feels more comfortable singing in Yoruba than English.
The upset “Mr. Money with the Vibes” crooner lashed at the curious fan as he explained his choice of Yoruba lyrics.
“I am more comfortable singing in Yoruba, it’s not that I can’t sing in English. If you fuck with me, fuck with me with my Yoruba. If not, then don’t”. He said.
Recall that Asake had just recently released an album titled ‘Lungu Boys’ featuring several superstars including Wizkid, British rappers Central Cee and Stormzy, American superstar Travis Scott, and Brazilian singer Ludmila.
The album raked 5.86 million streams on Spotify Nigeria on its opening day, breaking the previous record of 4.91 million streams held by Davido’s ‘Timeless’.
