I’m Comfortable Singing In Yoruba – Asake

Afrobeat singer Asake has revealed why he prefers singing in Yoruba during an Instagram interactive session with fans.

He stated that while he can sing in English, he feels more comfortable expressing himself in Yoruba.

Asake emphasised that fans who don’t appreciate his music in Yoruba should stop listening altogether.

He said: “I am more comfortable singing in Yoruba, it’s not that I can’t sing in English. If you fvck with me, fvck with me with my Yoruba. If not, then don’t”.

All three of Asake’s albums, including “Mr Money With The Vibes”, “Work of Art”, and “Lungu Boy”, feature predominantly Yoruba lyrics.

His hit song “Amapiano” was nominated for a Grammy Award, despite being sung mainly in Yoruba.
