Nigerian music star Asake has opened up about the early struggles he faced on his journey to stardom, revealing that he left home at just 15 years old after his father opposed his decision to pursue a career in music.
According to the singer, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, his passion for music began at a young age. However, his ambitions were not supported by his father, who reportedly disapproved of his choice to follow a path in the entertainment industry. Faced with this resistance, Asake made the difficult decision to leave home in order to chase his dreams.
Speaking about the experience, Asake explained that his decision was driven by determination and belief in his talent. Despite the challenges that came with leaving home at such a young age, he remained focused on building a future in music. His journey, however, was far from easy, as he had to navigate life independently while trying to break into the competitive Nigerian music scene.
The singer’s story highlights the sacrifices and resilience often required to succeed in the entertainment industry. Like many aspiring artists, Asake faced obstacles, including limited support and uncertainty about the future. Yet, he continued to push forward, honing his craft and gradually gaining recognition.
Over time, his persistence paid off. Asake rose to prominence with his unique blend of Afrobeats, street pop, and Fuji influences, eventually becoming one of the most successful artists of his generation. His breakthrough came after being signed to YBNL Records by Nigerian rapper Olamide, a move that significantly boosted his career.
Today, Asake is widely celebrated for hit songs and chart-topping projects that have earned him both local and international acclaim. His rise to fame serves as an inspiration to many young people pursuing creative careers, especially those facing opposition or doubt from their families or communities.
The revelation about his early struggles has sparked conversations among fans, with many praising his courage and determination. Others have pointed to his story as an example of the importance of believing in oneself, even when faced with discouragement.
Asake’s journey underscores a broader reality within the creative industry, where passion and persistence often come with personal sacrifices. His story is a reminder that success rarely comes without challenges—and that sometimes, difficult decisions are necessary to achieve one’s dreams.

Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed why he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, claiming that she was “quite manipulative”.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Rema said the relationship was “beautiful” but not always peaceful.
The singer lamented that sometimes when he returns home hoping to rest from the pressure of the outside world, his then girlfriend often greeted him with chaos.
He said he eventually walked away when he could no longer tolerate her excesses.
“My romantic relationship was beautiful but a little quite manipulative. So much pressure. Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved but when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story. For now, I’m done,” he said.
Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.
Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.
She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.
The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.
However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.
Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.
“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.
In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
Popular Nigerian Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has raised alarm over an alleged plot to deregister Accord party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The singer made the claim a post on X on Thursday.
Why questioning reasons for the deregistration, Davido called for free and fair election.
He wrote; “Deregister Accord party for what? Cowards let’s go to the field.”
This is coming 48 hours after the singer called out Gboyega Oyetola, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, and the immediate past governor of the state over alleged desperate plan.
Recall that Osun State’s current governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in December 2025 following the party’s national leadership crisis and legal dispute and joined Accord Party for his re-election.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
