Asake was homeless, depressed – Singer Hotkid

According to Nigerian musician Hotkid, Asake was destitute and homeless prior to getting signed to renowned rapper Olamide’s record label, YBNL Nation.

The crooner known as “Mr. Money,” according to him, was moving people’s apartments and had even admitted to him that he was depressed.

He said this while recently appearing as a guest on KimOprah’s Hip TV show Trending.

Hotkid said, “The funny thing is that I never knew there was depression. 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’t understand.

“Asake is my birthday mate. He was sleeping in my room. Then he didn’t have an apartment. So he was just shuffling people’s 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’t know that my own depression was coming.

“That’s why I always say it is easier to give opinions when you are not in someone’s shoe. So when I see people in some situations, I feel bad for them. Don’t judge. You don’t have any opinion. You are not perfect. It’s 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.”
