“This is wrong, you’re d!sre$pecting Christians” – Singer Asake dr@gged online over ‘Only Me’ video (Video)

Popular Nigerian singer, Asake, has triggered controversy on social media with the release of his newest music video accompanying the chart-topping hit ‘Only Me’.

Asake who is signed under Olamide’s YBNL announced the music video’s release on Thursday, February 29th 2024.

Under the direction of TG Omori, the music video unfolded as Asake adorned priestly attire, serving communion in a setting reminiscent of a sacred church space.

Adding to the spectacle, his ensemble of video vixens mirrored the solemn attire of altar servers, embodying the dutiful assistants who aid priests during religious ceremonies.

The video has ignited a storm of condemnation on social media, particularly on platform X, where users have vehemently accused Asake, who identifies as a Muslim, of persistently disrespecting the Christian faith.

Some users referred to a scene from his ‘Bandana’ video, wherein black goats infiltrate a church, as further evidence to support their claims.

Reacting an X user identified as @Solomon_Buchi wrote; “Asake keeps disrespecting the Christian faith in his music videos.

Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful.

In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men.

Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way? Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?”

@sire_hades said; “This not the first time, asake olamide and the entire ybnl are disrespecting Christians. Asake is a Muslim let him shoot his video in a mosque wearing an iman’s robe. If you’re a Christian and you’re still an asake fan, you’re a big f00l!”

@rukky_nate commented; “Christianity is the actual religion of peace, tolerance and the gullible. The faith enjoins all to live in harmony, love and defend its name without chopping off heads. And that’s why folks like Asake; a Muslim could make a caricature of Christianity with zero repercussions.”
