Grammy-nominated Afrobeats superstar, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has said that it is difficult to get a job in Nigeria with tattoos.
The artist, who has a neck tattoo, said he couldn’t work for
any company or do business because of the stereotypes about tattoos in Nigeria.
Asake, featured in the latest issue of GQ magazine, said:
“In Nigeria, if you have a tattoo on your neck, you can’t work anywhere. I
can’t work for any company. I can’t sell anything.”
Signed to notable Afrobeats label YBNL Nation, Asake also spoke about his “sudden stardom,” stressing that his
rise in the music industry was not an “overnight success” as it seems.
“You have to understand: I got there in two years, but I’ve
been working for years. People are counting the days you’re successful. They
don’t count the days you’ve been working towards it. Nobody gives a fvck about
that,” Asake said.
Asake started his musical journey in 2018 and by 2020, he rose to limelight after the release of his hit single, Mr Money.
Ever since, he has been releasing electrifying singles that have caught the attention of fans both at home and abroad.
