In a recent live video, Nigerian artist Asake addressed concerns about why he primarily sings in Yoruba. Asake explained that he feels more comfortable expressing himself in Yoruba than in English, although he occasionally incorporates some English into his songs. He emphasized that singing in English isn't his style, as he remains true to his identity as a Yoruba man.
Asake noted that all his songs are sung in Yoruba, and even those with foreign artists or predominantly English lyrics still include elements of the Yoruba language. His fans rallied behind him, showing strong support in the comments.
One fan, tomiwa1233, commented, “Yoruba never tells Phyno to sing in English. We love and accept him as he is. They just hate hearing anything Yoruba, and I don’t know why.”
Another fan, poshest_hope, added, “Please continue singing in Yoruba. We non-Yorubas love it even more. If you hear me sing Asake’s songs, you’d think I’m Yoruba. Keep being you, bro.”
Many other fans echoed these sentiments, praising Asake for staying true to his roots and encouraging him to continue singing in the language that resonates with him.
