God Gave Me, And He Did Not Give Me Again – Asake Opens Up On Success And Failure In 2020

Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asaka, has shared insights into his career trajectory, and how 2020 marked a sweet and bitter experience for him.

The 'Sungba' crooner, while speaking in a candid interview with YouTuber, Korty EO, described 2020 as a serious year, where he faced life challenges.

According to him, the period was one where God blessed him and took it back, pointing out how he had no idea that His Maker was preparing him for the eventual success.

He revealed that he gained fame with 'Me I no dey cap, me I no dey form,' and he lost the fame after the hit song.

He further opened up on his choice of country, recalling how he had made it clear to his friends that Los Angeles was a place of interest for him. He revealed that upon travelling abroad, he didn't think so much about residing in LA.

"2020 was a serious year. Life humbled me so much. You know when God puts something sweet in your mouth and removes it? That was what happened in 2020. At that time, I did not know that God was building me. I did not expect it. God then gave me, ‘Me I no dey cap, me I no dey form,’ and then He did not give me again.

"Before I travelled, Los Angeles was a place I liked. Even when I was with my friends, I told them that I was going to leave this country and go to California. So, I did not overthink it. When I got to California, I was just like, bro, I will be here. Let me just live my dream, mehn."
