The singer said he decided to go by the stage name because it was cool.
“My stage name is actually my mother’s. While I was in the cultural group, people used to call me ‘omo Asake,’ which means child of Asake in Yoruba. And after a while, it just stuck. People stopped adding the ‘omo’ and left ‘Asake.’ I thought it was cool and decided to go by it,” he said.
Asake stated this in Pause Magazine’s Autium 2023 edition.
He also said he would continue to sing in his indigenous language.
“It is very important to me, and I am not going to lose it. It is what has brought me this far, and I continue to keep it that way,” he said.
