Nigerian singer and songwriter, Ahmed Ololade, also known as Asake has explained why Yoruba language is an integral part of his music.

He said he loves singing in Yoruba because it is very important to him and there are lots of people who understand the language.

Asake who was speaking in an interview on NewsLive Prime, said he understands music to be a feeling and at times one does not need to understand it to like its usage on a sng.

“Yoruba is so important to me. To me the way I understand music is that it is a feeling”, he said.

Clear your heart of hate lest it consume you and your generation

Ololade mi Asake

The means shall justify the means.
I'm seriously sick, I don't have food, I can't buy drugs, no sibling or family to listen to my plight. I'm alone in a strange land. Who will, in God's name help me?

Please bosses I need someone to help me with 500N

Yoruba is a beautiful romantic language. A unique Language that has no inflection for past and plural forms. The best language for toasting your wife of 40 years. Proud to be born Yoruba. There are millions of Yoruba speaking people.

Everyone is proud of where he is from. Afterall if you don t like it , you don’t have choice.

God never consults anyone in choosing your ethnicity or parents

Hello Bionixs. Don’t be unfortunate. Dey your lane make thunder no locate your household. Oku igbe.

bionixs:
The very thunder you mentioned will first locate yours definitely , after which it will still locate them again and again until no one will be left.

What have I spoken ill that you are dragging my household into your obnoxious and abominable lifestyle ? Kpachara anya gi , oku eregbue gi

Bionixs omo werey. Better swerve enter evil forest. It’s like you were cursed at your naming ceremony as they put ogogoro and pepper in your dirty mouth. Abi o fe sofo ni? Go and locate transformer to hug.

Organise!

Some of us are wise(APC),but every other person over wise(LP).

Asake is musically creative and he is unique.

I like his play with words and usage of proverbs in his music.

Yea, music itself is a language on its own. You don't need to understand the language used to compose it b4 you love it.

Yoruba language sounds horrible when singing. It's sounds like animals making noise. No offense
Just listen to Seyi vibes
Yoruba sounds very trash on songs

But only asake has been able to make good song with Yoruba. It's still shock me how he does it

Igbo is the best
Igbo sounds sexy and flirty in songs
Listen to Love Nwantiti by C.Kay

Hausa sound kinda cool with their autotune voice

I'm Delta but I love phyno and asake

Edit:
If you all listen to pasuma
You will hate Yoruba language
Trust me
It sounds annoying
With that their talking drum that gives headache while listening.
Only asake has been able to pull it off and make it sound cool.
The others are just making animal noise.

Listen to Osaeebe, Tony 1 week
You will hear flows and rythmn
Compare osadebe hits to that trash pasuma and co are singing. It's like comparing diamond to plastic

No offense
True music lovers understand what I'm saying

Good for you but just know you will end up a local champion like your boss Olamide

This is certain!!

Mr. Money with the vibe , you are doing well

Next rated….
Meanwhile
Some of you are so depressed bringing politics here it’s a deep shame

for the culture

If u don't understand his songs, Then u are only in for the beats

All thanks to Olamide's influence

Aside from that, every other thing na wash😩

This why i rate burna boy above all this artist because he doesn't have one style of song all the time.

Well, in Nigeria, the beats and vibes is what matters not the language.

After all, we all vibed to Awilo years ago and TikTac and VIP from Ghana without understanding what they’re were saying.

Oga, tell your producer to keep killing your songs with beats, nobody cares what language you speak in your music anyways.
