‘He sold his soul for money’: Asake trends online after sharing shirtless pics displaying muscles and tattoos (Photos)
Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Hakeem Ololade, better known as Asake or Mr. Money, has once again set social media on fire after fresh images of him flaunting his tattoos and new look surfaced online.
The singer, famous for his love of body art, previously revealed in May that his ink extends across his back, chest, arms, legs, and even his face. In the newly shared photos on Tuesday, September 9, Asake appeared shirtless, proudly showing off the intricate tattoos that have become part of his identity.
The most eye-catching detail was the bold inscription of his new label name, “Giran Republic,” etched in capital letters across his back — a move many fans described as both daring and symbolic.
Reactions online have been mixed, with some admirers praising the creativity behind his body art, while others called certain inscriptions “disturbing.” Despite the chatter, Asake remains unbothered, having previously declared that he is in his “military era.”
Adding to the buzz, the award-winning singer debuted a striking blue hairstyle during his performance at Afro Future 2025 in the United States, where he lit up the stage with electrifying renditions of his chart-topping hits.
