Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, has taken the Afrobeats scene by storm with his signature blend of street vibes and catchy tunes. Yet, behind his meteoric rise is a story of inspiration, ambition, and a deep admiration for one of Nigeria’s music legends, Wizkid. Recently, Asake opened up about how Wizkid, the Grammy-winning artist known for hits like “Ojuelegba,” has significantly influenced his musical journey.

“It’s no secret that Wizkid is one of my music inspirations,” Asake shared on the digital streaming platforms where Lungu Boy is making waves. “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.”

This revelation came alongside the release of “MMS,” a track that stands out not just for its infectious rhythm but also for its deeper meaning. The title, “MMS,” is an acronym for “Mr Money Sound,” a phrase that encapsulates Asake’s music journey and the persona he has crafted in the industry. The collaboration with Wizkid on this track is a testament to Asake’s growth and his relentless pursuit of artistic excellence.

Asake’s excitement about working with Wizkid is palpable. Collaborating with one of his biggest inspirations is not just a career milestone but also a dream come true. The chemistry between the two artists on “MMS” is undeniable, and it’s a track that fans are already hailing as one of the highlights of Lungu Boy.
