HE KEPT HIS ACCENT Y’ALL! That’s fucking beautiful. Been waiting for a Nigerian to speak with a Nigerian accent
what do you mean by Nigerian accent..... is there a particular u are meant to speak if u are a Nigerian ?
@@UchennaAnedu There are several.
@@UchennaAnedu have you heard zinoleesky accent interviews?
I swear most Nigerian artists that grew up and live in Nigeria keep their accents?
@@lisagriffin8221 no they don't, they speak in a fake American accent.
ASAKE: "If you don't feel blessed you won't be blessed". 100% Facts. 🙏🏽🇳🇬❤
What i like about this guy is he don't Fake His Accent
Im not sure he can fake it
Maybe if he could, he would have 😂
Seriously, annoys me when other artists speak with that fake accent but If he wanted to he could but you can tell he's comfortable with his authentic self.
everyone can fake an accent, he just chooses not to. Because how can he be saying all this stuff about authenticity if he's faking American accent?
@@tojusote4896 wtfdym?🙄 Does he have to know how to? Don't be a f**king mediocre you Africans 🤦
Asake’s album is so so good. I’m happy to see him being recognized worldwide
Im a ghanaian and hands down when it comes to Afrobeats Nigeria( omo Naija) is just second to none.The list of their superstars ist just incredible.
Wizz kid,Tiwa Sawage,Yemi Alade,Davido,Tekno,Burnaboy,Ckay,Fireboy,Joe boy,Asake,Pato Ranking,Rugalo,Iyanya,Kizz Daniel,P sqaure,Runtown, Olamide,Zlatan, etc etc this is just massive. And all of them produce videos with over millions of views on TH-cam.
This is just remarkable. Give praise n Respect where is due no matter what.
Love to you brother 💕
You missed flavour and psquare, phyno, Tems lol
yeah, with over 200 population in Nigeria, the number is massive even without the outside world
@@MakeMoneyOnline-AI-ChatGPT yes u right but naija ist just incredible. Look at countries like China and india who both have over a billion of human population.
I dont even know any superstar musician from this countries.
I believe they have some notable ones but not like Nigeria who produce crazy talented musicians. I even forgot to mention Spyro,Oxlade,Flavour,Tems,P square, Banky W, Chioma, Rema
Its just crazy
@@ogyamatta6903 Every country has its area of specialty and strength and what they're known for. If you mention any specialty/profession, a particular country will come to mind and I'm super proud of our incredible artists.
Literally shook up the whole industry! The album is my addiction! The visuals are amazing!
When Asake said, you don’t even have to understand it, but feel it hmmm. I was so happy my thought about his songs is real. The spirituality imbedded in his sound is impeccable. I am rooting for you Asake
Do you know what song that was?
Nigeria to the world! We no dey carry last 🇳🇬🇳🇬🙌🏽🙌🏽
As a Yoruba man I’m so proud to see our language getting that worldwide and international recognition. Well it’s not a surprise Yoruba language is universal language 😊😬🤦🏾♂️👍🇳🇬🇳🇬💞💞
How come? And why can’t it can’t be the same for Twi?
@@ThatKiddVic Twi people should start promoting their language more over the foreign language .
@@ThatKiddVic Your question sounds like you’re jealous and Irritated! Whenever Nigerians get recognition and shine, many Ghanaian’s will complain or throw shade! Can’t you people just be happy for Nigerian’s, instead of acting like a crybaby?!? 😐
Well, it’s no surprise, I’m yet to see a very well educated Yoruba person who doesn’t speak or even understands a word or two from Yoruba.
Yorubas generally aren’t bashful of speaking their language loudly & proudly ANYWHERE! Be it America, European or Asia that they find themselves.
Although a other tribes normally make fun of that……But we still don’t care!
Running 🏃🏾♀️ to continue to teach my kids. We don’t make noise for nothing!
Yoruba & proud!
@@ThatKiddVic nigerians can speak their language anywhere,you people should put more effort
I love the fact that he hasn’t adopted a fonee accent like the rest of them. Brilliant artist.
That isn’t a type of accent 😂😂😂
Some of the rest of them were born or even raised in the US and UK. A Nigerian accent is not faked sometimes. It depends on the upbringing of the Artist. Don't forget we have a huge diaspora population, but the culture sticks to them wherever they are.
@@akinolasarumoh7060 Yeah, quite a few were born outside, for some it's actually the Nigerian accent that they are putting on.
Love the fact that his Nigerian voice remained the same love askae
Asake has a style that’s refreshing hope he keeps his producer close because they create magic
We are so Proud of you Asake 🇳🇬Big Love from USA🇺🇸🇨🇲
Love from australia. He is literally my favourite artist.
Correction afrobeat has nothing to do with black American music
Its origins are from Africa and that's it
Dont mind them. Lmao
Yes oooh afrobeats nothing to do with black American music that was a B.S. statement! They always wanna get credit smh.. Asake yes purely Nigerian and adds a bit of S. African amapiano
Nonsense this has already been documented and proven.
Fela Kuti himself said this.
@@mufasa2009 no he didn’t it’s African music
@@tylergriffin2499 Get lost bum.
Who are you to go against Felas own words?
The world is living in the days and times of African music and dance and Nigeria is the Giant of Africa. Simple
In music. When the criminals no longer rule, then Nigeria will reach its potential.
@@zhonnio2386 wtf? You seem ignorant.. every country has criminals
@@zhonnio2386 you votes the criminals you fool
@@zhonnio2386 apc egkbekegbe criminals
Fact : " Some time you don't have to understand it" like me on TAKI TAKi and DESPACITO you don't have to understand to know that is a good song you just feel.
Exactly
Bro maintained his accent ❤
Love it🙏🏾
I love how he sings in Yoruba and reps Nigeria I'm so proud of him, May God bless his career
“If you don’t feel blessed you won’t be blessed”
Asake 2023.
If you don't feel Blessed you won't be Blessed
You have to lift your spirit yourself so people can see oh he's tryna move forward so they'll push you forward too -Asake. 🇳🇬💙✌️
Inspirational
💯
I swear that part was heavy . Thanks for writing it down
That's a proverb in yoruba and a way to motivate someone u love when he's down.
Oni gba lo ma n gbe igba e ki eleru to ba gbe. Meaning u must lift your self before others will lift u, u must show success traits before u can be successful etc
Correction... Yoruba is spoken primarily in the "Southwestern" part of Nigeria..not "Central Nigeria" as is mentioned in this video. However, Yoruba is everywhere..worldwide...
Tune into the King of Sounds and Blues!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Asake!!!!! We are with you brother! Nigeria backs you up. forever. Peace!
I am proud of Nigeria entertainment industry. Thanks to Davido, Psquare, 2baba and every order stars that made it possible. This shows that nigeria can be great if the leaders want it to be great
Facts! PSquare oooo
Dbanj ohh
3:20 says everything. The interviewer asks Asake about the lyrics, not realizing it's not about the lyrics!
Asake replies, "I don't even know what they are saying, I just like HOW they sound. That's what the song is about. It's just about connecting with who you are."
I'm a white guy from the suburbs who doesn't understand a LICK of Yoruba, but I don't need to. Asake's music touches my soul.
So blessed to have seen him live in Brooklyn, NY only a few days ago.
ASAKE, banging bangers , heal the world boss 😃
Love Asake!!!
Seeing this sends chills through my spine…Thank you GMA!!!
He nailed it! It’s a feeling. No matter what language any great song people will sing and love
man he is such a awesome person. he said it so well. "you don't even have to understand it, it is a feeling". I am moroccan and can't understand a word, yet at the sae time I can understand so much. its a feeling.
If you're from Morocco and you speak French you probably got a gist of it. Didn't you? 😊
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬YESSSSS!!!!! It’s our time ❤❤❤. Thank you GMA for featuring Asake, he is our National Treasure ❤️
Really proud of this guy.... Asake
I love Asake's music! so happy to see him on GMA! Africa to the world! Nigeria to the world!- from a Nigerian viewer of many years
“If you don't feel blessed, you won't be blessed “. 🙏🏾❤️
Love love his 🎵! Thanks for featuring him❤🙏🏾
We love Asake!!! Can’t wait to see him perform in Los Angeles! 🇧🇯🌍
When words fail... Music speaks .. ❤🔥 from India
Asake: originality, authenticity, and charisma
Asake music is really really REALLY GOOD! He doesn’t miss EVER!
ASAKE , THANK YOU!
KEEP BEING WHO YOU ARE.
I LOVE YOUR HUMILITY AND RESPECT. GOD BLESS YOU.
Afrobeats is Nigerian 🇳🇬 🇳🇬. We are the future
Afrobeats in Nigerian & Ghanaian
@@kofiboadu6744 😂😂😂 always trying to squeeze into Nigerians shadow
@@cossy6678 Abeg don't kill me haha. To be honest, Afrobeats originates from Ghana. Nigerians just took it and globalised it - and i'm saying this as a nigerian that lived in nigeria for 7 years so there's no bias
@@FashionRoadman if there's anything I know about ghanians is that they lie from their anus, starting with claiming to be a Nigerian to score points. Unlike Nigerians, we don't sell our birthrights. No prim! You are not Nigerian and Afrobeats is not Ghanaian 's. 😂😂 You should be laughed at for pulling for pulling a mumutive stunt like this. Afrobeats is is youruba, Igbo and pidgin language. Tell me which one of this language is spoken in Ghana. Ghana broken English that can't form a lyric.
@@FashionRoadman you're full of 💩
Good bless him for talking authentically
Exactly, I like his original accent. More respect to him. African artists should stop trying to sound like westerners be true to our culture.
Happy for showing Asake ❤😊
Asake keeping his accent gives me so much JOY❤❤❤! Makes me love him even more..
Afrobeats is strictly African music 🎶 nothing else
Mr Money, opor yeye, gbelo skoda, this is just the beginning, jejely straight to the top, won shi ma riran wo 🙏🙏🙏
For Asake ive clickedthe subscribe button..😅 thanks GMA for being open to the growing music trend.. Afrobeats to the world!!
Really happy Asake is now visible on the world stage. Really powerful music ❤
Love it my people. Don't let Babylon corrupt the music.
He's awesome. One of my favourite Afrobeats stars.
Nigeria to the world 🌎 😅. Good job guys
Epic! Afrobeats is epic
Wow. I love that you guys did this feature.
If you don’t feel blessed you won’t be blessed… wowww, that’s a powerful statement.
On God 🙇
Haha. I caught that. I felt the power instantly. Thanks Asake ❤🇳🇬🙏🏽
I love it 👏 best beat I've heard in a while.
Authentic dude..no dey form too much.
Mean I’m so proud seeing this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 more wins for him IJMN.
He is so handsome. Super super talented and I love his music.
love the way he has described music as a feeling
Every country has its area of specialty, strength, and greatness and what they're known for. If you mention any profession, a particular country will come to your mind and I'm super proud of our incredible artists. Proudly Nigerian.
Finally, these guys have admitted using Fuji in their music. A lot of them are inspired by traditional YOruba music like Fuji, Apala, Juju, Waka etc. Thats why the Yoruba dominates the music scene, it's in the rhythm and blood.
Yes! The rhythm + BLOOD💯
Yoruba singers are inspired by fiji
Did he deny it bfr?
Also the youruba language has a kind of intonation that sounds musical. It makes it easy to fix yoruba lyrics to beats.
Many of the top producers are actually not Yoruba though. Let's also give them credit.
Asake’s MMWTV album is the most authentic Afrobeat project out of Africa in d last 10 years in my opinion. Break out star in d making. Even if you dont understand the lyrics you will still vibe to d beats. From #Organize to #Joha, the whole album is vibe. Way to go Asake. Thanks for taking Naija music Global 👏🏽👏🏽💯
I love the fact that he keeps that accent. Love you man ❤
So proud of you brother
Great interview he killed it ❤🇳🇬
