Internationally renowned Afro-fusion singer Ololade Ahmed, better known as Asake has been in the news a lot recently and one of his latest exploits has sparked mixed conversations on social media.
Days after Asake was reported to have left Olamide’s record label, YBNL, the singer has been announced as the Nigerian artist with the most certified songs and albums.
The announcement comes weeks after Asake was reported to have had a massive fallout with his former boss, Olamide. Recall, that it made the news when Asake unfollowed Olamide on all his social media platforms.
