Renowned singer Asake recently opened up about how humility and ego are viewed in the music industry.
He noted that humility is frequently misunderstood as a sign of weakness, whereas showing confidence or ego can make an artist more captivating to fans and audiences.
Asake emphasized that people are more drawn to outcomes than to explanations of the process behind them. He added that demonstrating every step of your work often goes unappreciated, and it’s more effective to let the results speak for themselves.
His words …
“As an artist, if you’re humble, they take you for granted. But if you have ego they feel like you’re not accessible then they like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than showing them. They don’t really appreciate it. Do what you need to do and just go.”

@Igbeauxx: “I keep saying this, humility is a trap. As you go, your ego and pride should grow with you else people will take you for granted. Humility is a trap by people just to maintain access to you when they shouldn’t. Don’t fall for it.”
@Kaygoldhim: “WizKid told him sometimes ago, I think it’s after this video tho that “Ma humble oooh”😭”
@AlphaMike001: “Bruh isn’t even capping
Use Davido as an example”
@StatsByGreyson: “This logic isn’t just applicable as a music artiste, but as a person.
Relate with people and give them boundaries. When it’s business it’s business. When it’s fun it’s fun. No go hug person when you suppose give handshake.”
