Attending Asake's sold-out concert in Houston, Texas, as part of his “In God We Trust” tour, AY reflected on the budding artist’s early struggles. He revealed that he had missed Asake's initial message, which was a plea for support as he launched his music career.
In the message, Asake introduced himself as “Ololade” and expressed his desire for AY's support, emphasizing that even a simple acknowledgment of his song could significantly impact his career. “Good Evening sir. I’m OLOLADE. How are you doing sir? I just dropped a record titled – African Something. You vibing to the song is a lot to my career,” he wrote.
AY made it clear that he didn’t share this story to claim any credit for Asake’s success, attributing the singer’s rise to his talent, dedication, and divine intervention. “The glory belongs to God and his talent, along with the hard work he’s put in,” AY stated.
Witnessing Asake command the stage in front of thousands of fans reminded AY of the artist's incredible journey and the challenges he overcame. He emphasized a crucial lesson for everyone: “The person asking to be seen today may become the person the whole world celebrates tomorrow.”
AY also mentioned that after the concert, Asake's management took him backstage, where the two shared a moment. Despite his newfound fame, Asake’s humility shone through, leaving a lasting impression on AY.
Congratulating Asake, AY remarked, “Nigeria celebrates you, Africa celebrates you, and the world is seeing all your doings and workings right now.” This story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of kindness and support in the journey to success.
