Popular Nigerian artiste, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, says he is not ruing his Grammy loss to South Africa’s Tyla.
Recall that Tyla’s ‘Water’ defeated Asake’s ‘Amapiano’ and other Nigerian songs to win the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys.
The Amapiano crooner granted an interview to GQ magazine, where he said he doesn’t see it at a loss.
He is upbeat that he may get more Grammy nominations and probably win next year.
“It [Grammy loss] is not a loss for me. I might just get more next year. In my head, I was not even taking it too seriously,” he said.
On his mind space for his sophomore album, ‘Work Of Art,’ Asake said: “People don’t really know me because I’m quiet.

“So everybody started seeing me as mystery. ‘Work of Art’ is just for them to know me. You have to understand I’m human, but you can’t just deny the heart in me.”
