Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, says he is not brooding his Grammy loss to South Africa\u2019s Tyla.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that Tyla\u2019s \u2018Water\u2019 defeated Asake\u2019s \u2018Amapiano\u2019 and other Nigerian songs to win the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys.<\/p>\n
However, speaking in a recent interview with GQ magazine, the \u2018Mr Money With The Vibe\u2019 crooner said he doesn\u2019t take it as a loss.<\/p>\n
He is upbeat that he might get more Grammy nominations and probably win next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt [Grammy loss] is not a loss for me. I might just get more next year. In my head, I was not even taking it too seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On his mind space for his sophomore album, \u2018Work Of Art,\u2019 Asake said: \u201cPeople don\u2019t really know me because I\u2019m quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo everybody started seeing me as mystery. \u2018Work of Art\u2019 is just for them to know me. You have to understand I\u2019m human, but you can\u2019t just deny the heart in me.\u201d<\/p>\n
