Afrobeats singer Ahmed Ololade, also known as Asake, has claimed that his Grammy-winning colleague Wizkid is one of his music inspirations.
He revealed this while he was enjoying working on the recently released third studio album, “Lungu Boy,” with the “Ojuelegba” crooner.
While their joint single, “MMS,” was being released on digital streaming platforms, Asake mentioned that he had been looking forward to working with Wizkid. Asake penned:
“It’s no secret that Wizkid is one of my music inspirations. As a young striving artiste in Lagos, I’ve been waiting for that right song so when the opportunity came it was a no brainer.
“‘MMS’ stands for ‘Mr Money Sound’ and it explains my music journey.”
In another story, Asake is set to delight fans worldwide with his third studio album, Lungu Boy, scheduled for release this Friday.
The project features a star-studded lineup, including Nigerian superstar Wizkid, American hip-hop giant Travis Scott, British rappers Stormzy and Central Cee, and Brazilian singer LUDMILLA.
Mr Money has been promoting ‘Lungu Boy’ while performing at various venues. Recently, he recreated Lil Yachty’s iconic stage walk when making his entrance at the Wireless Festival in the United Kingdom. With the release date approaching, excitement for Lungu Boy is skyrocketing.
Since breaking into the mainstream in 2022, the Lonely At The Top crooner has quickly risen to superstar status, thanks to his steady release of hit singles and two successful albums.
The album follows a series of collaborations from Asake, including tracks with Zlatan, Ayra Starr, Victony, Tems, and Central Cee.
