Nigerian music superstar Asake has opened up on the delicate balance between humility and ego in the music industry, shedding light on how artists are often perceived by fans and audiences.
The singer highlighted that humility is frequently misinterpreted as weakness, while confidence and ego can surprisingly make an artist more magnetic and appealing.
Speaking candidly, Asake explained the audience's preference for outcomes over processes in the creative world. “People would rather see what you’re doing than showing them. They don’t really appreciate it. Do what you need to do and just go,” he said.
This reflects a growing trend in the entertainment industry where the final product often overshadows the hard work and behind-the-scenes effort put in by artists.
He further elaborated on how perceptions shape fan engagement, noting, “As an artist, if you’re humble, they take you for granted. But if you have ego they feel like you’re not accessible then they like you more.” For Asake, ego isn’t about arrogance—it’s a tool for maintaining intrigue and drawing attention in a highly competitive music landscape.
This perspective offers valuable insight for upcoming musicians navigating fame in Nigerian Afrobeat and Afropop music. In an era dominated by social media, where visibility and personal branding often matter as much as talent, Asake’s reflections underscore the importance of strategic self-presentation.
Fans and industry observers can learn from Asake’s approach: success often speaks louder than explanation. While humility is important, knowing when to assert oneself, embrace confidence, and let the results shine can be key to staying relevant and memorable in today’s fast-paced music industry.
