A throwback video of Nigerian international artist Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake or Mr Money, visiting the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye, in 2018 has resurfaced on social media following his recent trip back to Ile Ife, Osun State.
Asake recently made headlines after arriving at his alma mater, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), by helicopter and paying a courtesy visit to the Ooni’s palace. He was accompanied by his mother, socialite Yhemolee, actor Lala, and his entourage.
This wasn’t Asake’s first encounter with the palace. Back in 2018, before gaining fame, he had visited alongside content creators Broda Shaggi and Yemi Elesho, also known as Broda Nuru. Clips from that visit showed a young Asake playfully sitting on the floor near the Ooni, while another video captured him popping balloons with excitement.
Asake’s rise to stardom came in 2022 when YBNL boss Olamide signed him to the label. Soon after, he began performing on international stages, including a sold-out show at the renowned O2 Arena.
Returning to Ile Ife as a celebrated artist, Asake was warmly welcomed, with many, including the Ooni, proudly recognizing him as a distinguished son of the town.
