Afrobeats sensation, Ahmed Ololade, professionally known as Asake, has stated that he is not brooding his Grammy loss to South African singer, Tyla.
Tyla’s ‘Water’ won the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys, the same category that Asake and Olamide’s ‘Amapiano’ was nominated in.
However, speaking in a recent interview with GQ magazine, the ‘Joha’ crooner expressed optimism that he might get more Grammy nominations and probably win in 2025.
He said; “It [Grammy loss] is not a loss for me. I might just get more next year. In my head, I was not even taking it too seriously.
On his mind space for his sophomore album, ‘Work Of Art,’ Asake said: “People don’t really know me because I’m quiet. So everybody started seeing me as mystery. ‘Work of Art’ is just for them to know me. You have to understand I’m human, but you can’t just deny the heart in me.”
