Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Asake has recently earned two prestigious certifications in the United Kingdom, further solidifying his global commercial success. His debut album, Mr Money With The Vibe, released in 2022, has now achieved Brit Gold certification, marking Asake’s first gold album plaque in the UK.
The album’s triumph can be attributed to its standout tracks, such as Sungba, Organise, and Jowo, which collectively contributed to the album’s success. Mr Money With The Vibe also reached the pinnacle of the UK Apple Music Album chart, further establishing Asake as a major force in the international music scene.
Asake’s hit single Sungba has also earned a Brit Silver certification, adding another milestone to the artist’s growing collection of accolades. This success in the UK is significant, given the artist’s recent performances at several major venues, including the iconic O2 Arena in London.
The release of Mr Money With The Vibe marked a pivotal moment in Asake’s career, as he made a powerful entry into the mainstream music scene with his chart-topping single Omo Ope, featuring Olamide, in January 2022. Since then, Asake’s career has been on an upward trajectory, winning the Album of the Year award at the 2023 Headies for Mr Money With The Vibe.
Following the success of his debut album, Asake quickly followed up with another successful project, Work of Art, and more recently, the track Lungu Boy. These releases have solidified Asake’s place as one of the era-defining stars in the history of Nigerian music.
Asake’s recent successes are a testament to his evolution as an artist, and he has already teased new music for 2025.
Following his recent departure from YBNL, Asake has also undergone a noticeable transformation, showcasing new body art, including facial tattoos and piercings, which have sparked varied reactions from fans. With a loyal following and continued success, Asake’s future in music looks promising as he prepares to release more captivating tracks.
