For one viral video wey scatter TikTok, Asake talk say humility fit dey mistaken for weakness, while ego dey make artists dey shine pass. E talk say na only the end result dey matter for people’s eye. Dem no fit sabi how you take achieve am, dem just wan see the final product.
“As an artiste, 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,” Asake drop this wisdom like say na Instagram caption. (Na true talk o, no be say we no sabi). E also advise say artists make dem focus on deliver results and let their work do the talking rather than dey seek validation. Nobody wan hear your wahala, dem just wan see wetin you don do.
Asake remind us say e no make sense to show people how you dey do your things. Wetin go gain from am? E go just be like say you dey waste your time. People no dey appreciate the process like that. Just do wetin you sabi do and carry go. (If you no carry your market come for front, who go buy am?)
Comments don dey fly everywhere as fans dey react to wetin Asake talk. One user, @Igbeauxx, talk say, “Humility na trap. As you dey waka, your ego and pride suppose dey grow with you else people go just dey take you for granted.”
Anoda one, @Kaygoldhim, come drop say, “WizKid talk am before, ‘Ma humble oooh.’” To say the least, everybody dey gree say ego fit help you shine sometimes.
@AlphaMike001 also gree say “No be capping matter o, just check Davido.” and others dey agree say this no be only music matter; e dey relevant for life too. You go fit relate with people well, but make you set your boundaries.”
Asake just dey shine light on wetin plenty artists dey face for industry. Society dey quick to undervalue the humble ones, but dem dey crave the accessible bad boys wey fit perform miracles for stage. Like dem talk, mak we no forget say na who get the results matter pass. If you no go show people wetin you don do, abeg wetin you dey do for the industry?
Na so e be for our music world, carry your confidence come and don’t allow anybody make you feel less because you want to be ‘humble’—that one fit just dey make you miss your shine.
