Nigerian music star Ahmed Ololade, known as Asake, didn’t win an award at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last night, but he certainly made an impression.
The Afrobeats artist, who was nominated in 2023 and didn’t win, faced another loss in the Best African Music Performance category.
His popular song MMS with Wizkid faced tough rivals like Chris Brown’s Sensational with Davido & Lojay, Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow, Burna Boy’s Higher, and the winner, Tems, with Love Me JeJe.
Even though he didn’t win any awards, Asake’s talent was clear. He owned the red carpet, flaunting a new, daring style that got everyone talking online.
Dressed in a striking military-inspired outfit, Asake made a noticeable change by cutting his dreadlocks. He introduced a sleek new haircut that matched his updated style, featuring tattoos, including one on his face that had already created a lot of chatter online before the event.
In a quick chat with Billboard on the red carpet, Asake shared his thoughts on his eye-catching new style that had everyone buzzing. He mentioned that he wanted to mix things up and reinvent himself.
Although he didn’t win the Grammy, Asake was grateful and joyful for the recognition he received. He shared his feelings about being part of the prestigious event and performing with other great African music stars.
