People took me for granted because of my humility – Asake [Video]
Asake, the Nigerian musician, has shared his perspective on humility, stating that people used to take him for granted because he was “too humble.” In a video circulating online, the YBNL act recalled past experiences while chatting with a group of friends.
Asake expressed the view that humility can be a waste of time, as people often don’t appreciate it. He suggested that it might be better for someone to be egoistic, as excessive humility can lead to disrespect. Using his own experiences as an example, the singer remarked that when someone appears egoistic, people may perceive them as inaccessible and place more value on them.
He said, “To me, humility is like a waste of time. People don’t appreciate it. At the end of the day, life is about your perception. That is how I think. It’s my world.
“I’ve been around people, that I tried to let them say who I am but they didn’t appreciate it. As an artiste, if you come to somewhere, if you’re humble, they will take you for granted.
“But if you have ego, they feel like you’re not accessible so they will like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than you showing them humility. So, just do what you need to do.”
