Asake, a well-known Nigerian singer, claims his love of money was a factor in his decision to go from dance to music.
Asake said this in a recent interview when he said that he wasn’t sure whether dancing would bring him the needed level of financial success.
“The reason I left dance is for my love for money. I want to be very honest. Dance is something that I love. But I’m not sure dance can give me the kind of money I want.
“Even if you want to make it so gangster-like and there are so many people bumping, you still need to use the dancers. So, as they work together, I think for the love of money, I’d rather be singing,” he said.
When asked if he would pursue dancing if it brought significant success, the YBNL artiste responded: “No, I would join music and dance together so I will have more money.”

In an interview with Billboard News, Asake revealed that he prayed to God to make the cooperation possible.
He stated that he prefers to collaborate with artists with whom he has relationships.
Asake said, “For me, I need to like the person before I can make music with you. I need to be comfortable with you. Not even because of the music alone.
“I’m not saying I can’t make music with other people but I like real energy. If you like me beyond the music, it’s good. But I need to connect with your music, I need to like the person I want to work with first so it won’t be a problem for me. There must be synergy.
“I have been saying this thing since; maybe God will do it. I will like to work with Kanye [West].”
