Without singing in Yoruba Language, you can't succeed in music in Nigeria.

You will just be a birthday and beer parlour singer, nothing for you.

Seriki Adepoju won 4 Grammys using only talking drum.

Anjelique Kidjo sings in Yoruba and French. She's Beninoise.
Wizkid only sings in Yoruba and English

Yoruba Language is an integral part of the perception of Nigerian music brand internationally.

Asake is doing well seriously,but he should Make peace with YBNL Boss, and move on peacefully....

When did he fall out with YBNL boss??

If that's n doubt wether asake is your internationalaly recognized or not go watch his performance on Steve Colbert show, his performance and the rapturous ovation he got after the performance of lonely at the top, without substance abuse the boy will surely go places in the future

Does anybody know anything on that side?

Yes na, it is chieftaincy title they use to judge international recognition.

Your problem is that Àṣàkẹ́ sings in Yoruba, a language you hate.

Let me break your heart so you can go home and kill yourself. If you are a Nigerian and can't sing in Yoruba, you will never amount to anything internationally in music.

Congratulations

Still ain't got no ever green song,maybe mms wit wiz and he needs to speak more english. He's Yoruba is dam to much

Someone is the best in Nigeria for 3 years straight yet you complain like he is least. Yoruba hate go choke you soon!

His Yoruba is too much keeh. Nah every musician dey use English sing?

Enter TikTok, you’ll see Chinese, Europe, America and even Russia dey sing Asake song bumper to bumper in Yoruba o. I was surprised myself..

No wonder this is the first artist Olamide tried his utmost best to retain

Even streams....even this thread is a perfect example.

Your reasoning is very skewed, there's plenty of artists that are very successful without using Yoruba in all their songs, e.g drille, chike, phyno etc

lol. Nobody knows those animals you just mentioned

Ehn ehn....
1. How many Grammy nominations dem get?
2. How many Top 10 songs on ITunes, Spotify, Audiomack etc dem get?
3. What is their streaming volume on YouTube?
And so on and so on....

I am sure when you get the right answers to the above....your ego go pipe down small....

All these things you listed does not make an artist the most successful or richest. Don Jazzy is probably the top grossing musical act, Johnny drille and 2face are also up there. Tyla has won a Grammy and she only has one recognizable song. I rate Simi, drille, chike and burna over davido, Wizkid, asake et al all day.
I do not have an ego that has to be piped down, why would I? Am I being paid?? 🤔

Each to his own. We are all animals anyway, some just higher evolved than others, using you as a case in point.

Bro, those names you mentioned, which of them can fill up a stadium in the UK?
I told you they are birthday singers. No be for birthday and weddings Drille and Chike dey sing?

Phyno is smart, that's why he aligned with Olamide immediately he left the East. They had hits back to back as he leveraged on Olamide's prowess in Yoruba Language.
When they stopped producing songs together, Phyno dropped fast. Today, Jerique and Zoro are stressing him like mad.

Flavour is very very good but he's a beer parlour, funeral and wedding singer. Ask yourself why.

You are not current.
"Drille is a talented artist known for his impressive discography, which includes popular songs in both English and Yoruba languages."
In fact, one of his popular singles was recorded in Yoruba.
