In this week’s episode, for #ChitChatWithMo, I talk about one of the biggest breakthrough afrobeats artist of 2022, Asake! His rise to fame is definitely one that I’ve been observing in awe. To me, his success is a fantastic illustration of the phrase - “luck is what happens when preparation meets a moment of opportunity”. Asake was so ready, that when he met his catalyst, Olamide, things really took off for him.
What are your thoughts?
Have you observed Asake’s success story so far?
Do you find it inspiring?
What other success stories do you know of and love?
