Ahmed Ololade, better known by his stage name Asake, is a Nigerian Afrobeats phenomenon who has revealed the reason behind his recent appearance.
Asake recently debuted a new look that included facial tattoos and a shorter hairstyle that deviated from his trademark dreadlocks.
Many individuals are curious as to what motivated the change in his appearance. In an interview conducted on the red carpet at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, Asake said that his metamorphosis has been fueled by his desire for comfort and self-expression.
He said, “This is how I feel now. I love to feel comfortable in my look, do things that I feel are good for me.
“This is not about anybody. This is how I feel now. I might wake up tomorrow and you will not see any tattoos on my face.”
The ‘Ololade’ crooner also noted that he feels “blessed and honoured” to be nominated in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category for ‘MMS’, for the 2025 Grammy Awards, even though he lost the category to fellow singer Tems.
“I feel blessed. Because I know there are so many people who want it but for me to be part of the ones that were chosen. I feel blessed and I’m honoured,” he added.
This new look is on point.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
