Why I chose music over dance – Asake

Ahmed Ololade, a.k.a. Asake, has indicated that his decision to pursue music over dancing was motivated by financial concerns.

In a recent interview, Asake explained that he chose music over dancing because he was unsure whether dancing would provide him with the financial success he needed.

“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 dance if it brought him great success, the singer said, “No, I would join music and dance together so I will have more money.”
