Since his mainstream emergence in 2022, Asake has become one of the best selling musicians in Nigeria and across the rest of Africa.

The singer-songwriter who released his third studio album, Lungu Boy on Friday, August 9 has disclosed why he prefers to sing in his native Yoruba language. The recording artiste stated that he is more comfortable singing in his native language.

Speaking during a recent interactive session with fans on Instagram, the ā€˜Ome Opeā€™ crooner explained that he can sing in English but feels more comfortable singing in his native dialect, Yoruba.

He said that those who are not willing to accept him singing predominantly in Yoruba should stop listening to his music altogether.

ā€œI am more comfortable singing in Yoruba, itā€™s not that I canā€™t sing in English. If you fvck with me, fvck with me with my Yoruba. If not, then donā€™t,ā€ he said.

All three of Asakeā€™s albums, ā€˜Mr Money With The Vibesā€™ (2022), ā€˜Work of Artā€™ (2023), and the latest ā€˜Lungu Boyā€™ were sung predominantly in Yoruba.

His hit song ā€˜Amapianoā€™ was nominated in the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys despite being predominantly sung in Yoruba but lost to South African singer Tylaā€™s viral hit ā€˜Waterā€™.
