Nigerian music star Asake has announced a brand-new album titled Money. He shared the news with fans on Thursday, June 5, 2025, through a post on his X account. The title connects to one of his most popular nicknames, “Mr Money,” a name his fans have embraced since his early days.
The upcoming project will be Asake’s fourth album in four years. It also marks his fifth body of work since 2022, the year he burst into the spotlight with the hit-packed EP Ololade Asake. Since then, Asake has continued to raise the bar with every release.
In 2024, he dropped Lungu Boy, which went on to become a massive commercial success. The album debuted at number one on the TurnTable Charts and stayed at the top for 15 straight weeks—a record-setting run. Lungu Boy was later crowned the best-selling Nigerian album of the year. This made Asake the only artist with three back-to-back number-one albums in three consecutive years.
He also earned the title of Nigeria’s best-selling artist in 2024. This was the third year in a row that he took home the honor, proving his impact on the industry and the charts.
Asake’s rise in Afrobeats has been nothing short of legendary. Since 2022, his run of hit singles has been considered one of the most impressive streaks in Nigerian pop music history.
2025 has already been a bold year for him. From a full-body tattoo to a striking new hairstyle, he’s stepping into a new phase. In a recent freestyle, he spoke about embracing a “military mindset.” With his new album Money on the way, Asake is clearly ready for his next chapter.
