Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has recounted some of his challenges before his rise to fame.

The 'Remember' crooner, while speaking in an interview with Famous TV stated that he was rejected severally by show promoters due to his lyrics being predominantly Yoruba.

According to Mr Money, eventually hitting stardom today is credited to God's grace, self-belief, consistency, and endurance.

Reminiscing on the previous struggle, he revealed that he is excited for his career success.

He said:
"How I got to where I am today is by God’s grace, self-belief, consistency, and endurance. At some point, a lot of people said no to me; they didn’t allow me to perform at shows because I spoke Yoruba. But thank God I didn’t stop, and I kept believing in myself.

"Now, look at where I am today. I am so happy for myself."

Asake is one of Nigeria's brightest singer, and is officially the most streamed artist of all time on Spotify Nigeria. He is known for a signature sound that fuses Fuji-style vocals with Amapiano production, with several hit songs credited to his name.
