Afrobeats sensation Asake has sparked conversations online after he shares his thoughts on how fans and the industry treat artists.
The singer says, humility in the music business is often mistaken for weakness. “If you are humble as an artist, they take you for granted. But if you have ego and they feel you are not accessible, they will like you more,” Asake reportedly said.
The comment has generated mixed reactions. Some fans agreed, and said the entertainment scene tends to respect artists who keep a little distance and mystery. Others argued that humility should be a strength, not something to be exploited.
Asake’s rise to fame has been marked by his unique sound, charisma, and bold personality. With this latest statement, he has once again reminded everyone that fame comes with its own complex rules and not every artist can afford to play nice all the time.
