Ahmed Ololade often known as Asake, a Nigerian Afrobeats star, has finally shared details about his recent transformation, which has been the subject of much attention.
In January, the musician debuted a new look that included face tattoos and a far shorter hairstyle than his distinctive dreadlocks.
His transformation sparked concern among fans, who were left wondering what had influenced the change.
During an interview on the red carpet at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, Asake explained that his transformation was driven by his desire for comfort and self-expression.
The singer stated that he prioritises feeling comfortable in his own skin. He also mentioned that his current look is a personal decision, one that could change at any time.
“This is how I feel now. I love to feel comfortable in my look, do things that I feel are good for me,” he said.
“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.”
He also expressed feeling “blessed and honoured” to be nominated for the 2025 Grammy Awards.
“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.
Asake received a nomination in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category for his collaboration with Wizkid on the song “MMS.” However, the award went to his colleague, Tems.
