Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, professionally known as Asake in the entertainment industry, has narrated the amount of public backlash he received the day he wore only pants to perform with scantily-clad ladies.
Asake maintained that the incident took place before he came into limelight happened before he came into the limelight, adding he wanted to use the situation to buy fame for himself but it went otherwise as he was seriously booed on stage.
The popular singer said this while featuring on the Ginger Yourself podcast.
He said: “Before I got the attention, I strived till I graduated from the university. I strived for like [another] two years before people like accept me.
“So there’s this performance. I wanted to perform Fela, so I was on pants and saxophone. I packed like six girls on stage. I asked them to be half-naked. You know, one thing about Nigerians is that once people are naked, they just forget about all the thing that is happening and just focus. But these people [at the concert] stubborn o. Those girls just walked in, then me too. I just walked in majestically as a star boy. I did not know where the first clap come from. The audience was like, ‘No, no, no.’ Everybody, like 9,000 capacity, clapping that they don’t want it.”
Ahmed Ololade was signed into Olamide Record Label, YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution.
