Asake praises Olamide in new song ‘Military’
Nigerian singer Asake has dropped a new track titled ‘Military,’ in which he expresses admiration for YBNL boss Olamide.
The release comes shortly after singer Portable’s remarks about Olamide, in which he accused the rapper of using Asake to sabotage his career in the music scene.
In response, Asake’s ‘Military‘ seems to be a statement of loyalty, as he gives Olamide a shout-out right at the start of the track.
The audio snippet from ‘Military‘ has gone viral, and many fans have interpreted Asake’s praise for Olamide as a subtle reply to Portable’s criticism.
The move has sparked a range of reactions, with some praising Asake’s loyalty to Olamide, while others question the timing of his release.

Asake finally addressed the viral reactions to his facial ink during his appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The “Mr. Money” hitmaker, who first took the music scene by storm in 2022, sent social media into a frenzy when he re-emerged from a brief hiatus sporting bold facial tattoos and a fresh haircut.
His dramatic transformation sparked widespread speculation and concern among fans, with many questioning the motivation behind such a striking change. However, speaking on the Grammy Awards red carpet, Asake explained that his new look is simply a form of personal expression.
“This is how I feel now,” he shared, dismissing the controversy. “I love to feel comfortable with myself. I love to do the things I feel like are good for me. It’s not even about anybody.” He further hinted at his ever-evolving style, adding, “I might wake up tomorrow, and you guys might not see any tattoos again.”
