Asake Opens Up on Family, Fame, and Loyalty in ‘Flow With Korty’ Interview
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Asake has given fans a rare, personal look into his life and journey in a new episode of Flow With Korty.
In the 33-minute feature hosted by Korty EO, the singer reflects on his path from a determined young boy chasing music against his father’s wishes to becoming a global headliner and Grammy nominee.
The episode blends storytelling, culture, and emotion, offering a side of Asake many fans have never seen before.
One of the standout moments comes from his mother, who shared how she once secured him a UK passport with hopes of sending him abroad, only for him to turn it down in favour of studying in Nigeria. That decision, though surprising at the time, became part of the foundation that shaped his journey.
Despite the early disagreements, Asake spoke warmly about his relationship with his father, describing their bond as unbreakable. He also reaffirmed his deep loyalty to his mentor, Olamide, making it clear that no level of success could change that.
The interview, largely delivered in Yoruba, captures both intimate and lighthearted moments. Members of his team also shared insights into his personality, praising his humility and grounded nature even as his fame continues to grow.
Beyond the conversation, the episode follows Asake’s recent return to Nigeria after spending time in the United States, where he worked on his latest album, Lungu Boy. Korty documents his homecoming journey—from emotional moments with his mother to a vibrant cultural welcome featuring the iconic Eyo Festival.
The singer also revisited Obafemi Awolowo University, his alma mater, and paid a visit to Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, further grounding the story in culture and heritage.
Praised for its authenticity and cinematic feel, the episode has resonated strongly with fans, offering a deeper understanding of Asake—not just as a star, but as a son, mentee, and artist still connected to his roots.
