The singer, who had not hinted at dropping any new music, announced the release by posting the song’s snippet on Instagram.

In the less than two-minute track, Asake delivers a powerful message, addressing criticisms and questions about his career.

Despite the song’s short length, the singer packs a punch, shutting down naysayers who have complained about him singing in Yoruba.

He confidently asserts that English sounds “bitter” in his mouth, embracing his cultural heritage and language.

Asake also gives a special shoutout to Olamide, acknowledging the key role the rapper played in his career.

He expresses gratitude for Olamide’s support and guidance, which has helped shape him into the artiste he is today.

The ‘MMS’ hitmaker also boasts about his worldwide achievements, proudly declaring himself the “richest” among his peers.

However, he notes that his main focus is not on wealth, but on “making more money”.

Asake also sends a clear message to those who have been “talking s**t about me” to beware, as their actions could “implicate them”.

“Shout out Olamide Badoo idan/ Mo le drop album lola tinu ba bimi/ Seven tracklist mo le gbe won sare ni/ Mo le ni kan lo gbawon leti ni/ But mo ma stop tori mo shishe debi ni/ Talk your s**t/ Mo mo pe o ma n ko bani/ Omo f**k that s**t/ Kuro ni bi ni,” the lyrics read in part.

Born Ahmed Ololade, Asake rose to fame in 2020 with his hit song ‘Lady’. The singer joined YBNL, the record label owned by Olamide, in February 2022.

In December, the Grammy-nominated artiste made shocking adjustments to his Instagram profile, removing YBNL from his bio and adding “creative director”.

Asake also unfollowed everyone on the platform, igniting speculation about his relationship with Olamide.

The Afrobeats sensation was nominated for this year’s Grammy Awards in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category. He, however, lost the category to colleague Tems.
