Asake has acknowledged Wizkid as a significant mentor and source of inspiration, emphasizing that their collaboration on his latest album was a long-anticipated goal.
The album, Lungu Boy, includes a notable track titled MMS, which features Wizkid. Asake expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration, noting that Wizkid has consistently inspired him throughout his career.
In his words: “It’s no secret that Wizkid is one of my music inspirations. As a young striving artiste in Lagos, I’ve been waiting for that right song so when the opportunity came it was a no-brainer. “‘MMS’ stands for ‘Mr Money Sound’ and it explains my music journey.”
