In a new feature with GQ Magazine, Asake touched on his recent nomination for Best African Music Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards which he lost to South African star Tyla.
According to the hitmaker who was nominated alongside Olamide for their hit song ‘Amapiano’, losing out on the Grammys despite being considered one of the favourites didn’t faze him. Asake didn’t consider it a loss as he fully appreciated what being nominated meant to him.
“It’s not a loss for me. I might just get more next year. But in my head, I was not even taking it too seriously. I appreciate the fact that they nominated me—I won’t lie, that’s a lot to me. Even, I didn’t see that coming this soon. I’m relaxed about it. Maybe because I know there will be a day that win will come,” he tells GQ’s Frazier Tharpe.
