Popular Nigerian Musician Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has revealed why he decided to pursue music and dumped his dancing career.

The singer who used to be a dancer has opened up that his decision to do music was inspired by his financial aspirations.

He clarify this in a recent interview, noting that he wasn’t sure if dancing would yield the financial success he desired.

“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.

The interviewer asked him if he would opt for dancing if provide assurance that it will meet his financial goals.

Asake replied,“No, I would join music and dance together so I will have more money.”
