Asake Reveals the Secret Words That Took Him from the Trenches to the Top of the Charts

Hold your breath, Gistliners! If you think Asake (the one and only Mr. Money) just woke up one morning and started selling out the O2 Arena with ease, his latest sit-down with the iconic Korty EO is about to leave you absolutely shook!

While we all see the diamond chains, the signature grills, and the “Active” lifestyle now, Asake just went raw and unfiltered about the year that almost broke his spirit—2020. While the world was battling a global lockdown, Asake was battling a personal and career “reset” that he says literally “humbled” him to his core.

Get this: Asake revealed that 2020 wasn’t just a tough year; it was a year of “almost.” He shared a deeply spiritual perspective on his struggle, describing a moment where success was right there, but then vanished.

“2020 was a serious year. Life humbled me so much. You know when God puts something sweet in your mouth and removes it? That was what happened in 2020,” Asake shared with a look of reflection.

Can you imagine? Having the “sweetness” of success right on your tongue, only for it to be taken away! He revealed that God gave him that iconic, viral line—“Me I no dey cap, me I no dey form”—and then suddenly… the taps ran dry.

But wait—this is where it gets INSANE. Long before the sold-out shows in London and the global charts, Asake already had his eyes on a very specific prize: Los Angeles.

He revealed that even when things were “rough” in Nigeria, he was already speaking his future into existence. He used to sit with his squad and tell them point-blank that he was going to pack his bags and head for California.

Asake’s story is a massive reminder to everyone out there: Your current “No” is just a setup for a massive “YES!” From losing a “sweet” opportunity in 2020 to living his best life in LA, Mr. Money is living proof that manifestation and hard work are a deadly combination.

He didn’t just “blow”; he was built. He didn’t just travel; he manifested his destination years in advance!
