Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has spoken about the influence of Lagos State on his music career, revealing that the city played a key role in his journey to maturity.
The singer, who relocated to Lagos after graduating from Obafemi Awolowo University, said the city helped shape him into adulthood and significantly influenced his creative expression.
Speaking in a recent interview with Spotify, the “Sungba” crooner said Lagos has been a major inspiration behind many of his songs.
“Lagos taught me how to live like a man. Lagos inspired most of my songs,” he said.
Asake also expressed gratitude for the global recognition of his music, noting that there are many more talented artists who have not yet received the same level of exposure.
“I’m happy because there are a lot of people who make music out there and a lot of people who are more talented than me. I’m thankful to God that I’m able to use the talent He gave me—not only locally but also globally. So for that, I give all thanks to God,” he added.
