Prominent Nigerian singer Asake has stirred conversations after sharing his candid views on humility and ego in the music industry.
According to him, humility is often misinterpreted as weakness, while showing a bit of ego tends to make artists more appealing and respected by fans.
Asake explained that people care more about results than the process, stressing that showing off how things are done is often unappreciated.
In his words:
“As an artist, if you’re humble, they take you for granted. But if you have ego, they feel like you’re not accessible — then they like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than showing them. They don’t really appreciate it. Do what you need to do and just go.”
