Nigerian music star Asake has sparked excitement among fans by teasing a new single as he gears up for what promises to be an eventful 2025.
The snippet, which he shared on his TikTok page, has already begun generating buzz, hinting that the singer is preparing to drop his second official single of the year.
This follows the release of Why Love, his first song after parting ways with YBNL, the label that played a crucial role in his rise to fame. Asake’s teaser suggests that he is continuing to carve out his own path under his imprint, Giran Republic, which he also used to launch a marijuana retail business in California.
The teaser surfaced shortly after Asake was seen hanging out with Ugandan model Eva Apio at MarineSerre in Paris. Their public appearances together, including a night of partying at a Paris nightclub, have fueled dating rumors.
While neither party has addressed the speculation, their growing closeness has kept fans talking. Asake, known for keeping his personal life private, has remained silent on the matter, allowing the speculation to build while shifting focus back to his music.
Asake has been on a roll in 2025, starting with a surprise freestyle titled Military, which he dropped shortly after attending the 67th Grammy Awards. The track signals his new artistic direction, as he boldly declares his intent to make music on his own terms.
Military was seen as a statement piece, with Asake reinforcing his reputation as a fearless and unconventional artist who refuses to be boxed in by industry expectations. Now, with a new single on the horizon, fans are eager to see what else he has in store.
Beyond his music, Asake continues to dominate the awards scene. He recently secured six nominations at the upcoming 17th Headies Awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. With his last album, Work of Art, winning Album of the Year in 2024, he will be aiming to take home the prestigious prize for a second consecutive year.
The Headies ceremony, set for April 5th, is expected to be a major night for the singer, who has consistently proven himself as one of Afrobeats’ biggest forces.
Asake’s upcoming single is poised to add to what has already been a busy and transformative year for the hitmaker. With three albums released in just three years, he has established himself as one of the most prolific artists in the industry.
As he continues to evolve and push boundaries, fans are eagerly anticipating his next move, ready to witness the next chapter in his remarkable journey.
