Now let me just tell you this story real quick. In early 2020, Asake was in my room, he said he was depressed. I didn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsake is my birthday mate. He was sleeping in my room. Then he didn\u2019t have an apartment. So he was just shuffling people\u2019s houses. He was in my room one night and was like how long does he wanna do this. I was cheering him up. I didn\u2019t know that my own depression was coming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I always say it is easier to give opinions when you are not in someone\u2019s shoe. So when I see people in some situations, I feel bad for them. Don\u2019t judge. You don\u2019t have any opinion. You are not perfect. It\u2019s God that is helping you. Do you think the people you are judging are happy they are passing through that situation? Before I was like that but now I know better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asake was homeless, depressed \u2013 Singer Hotkid<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian singer Hotkid has claimed that his colleague, Asake, was homeless and depressed before being signed to ace rapper, Olamide\u2019s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5490,4,5641,15],"tags":[697,171,5642,180],"class_list":["post-8642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asake","category-entertainment","category-hotkid","category-news","tag-asake","tag-entertainment","tag-hotkid","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
