Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, has unveiled a bold new look — a low-cut fade haircut that has fans buzzing across social media.
The singer shared a striking black-and-white photo on October 21, 2025, revealing the clean-cut style and intense gaze that immediately drew comparisons to Tupac Shakur’s iconic 1990s aesthetic. The image marks a major shift from Asake’s signature dreadlocks, a look that had become synonymous with his breakout rise in Afrobeats.
This transformation aligns with what fans have dubbed Asake’s “military era,” characterized by minimalist fashion, body tattoos, and a more rugged, disciplined image that has defined much of his visual branding in 2025.
The post, which quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), attracted widespread reactions from fans, celebrities, and music influencers. Many praised the new look as “timeless,” while others noted how the hip-hop undertones reflect Asake’s growing artistic evolution and global cultural influences.
Asake’s ability to blend Afrobeats flair with hip-hop attitude continues to cement his place among the most dynamic artists redefining African music’s global image. With his evolving style and sonic experimentation, the “Mr. Money” hitmaker shows that reinvention remains at the heart of his artistry.
