Below are the key details surrounding Asake’s much-anticipated album “M$NEY,” set for release in 2026.
Excitement is building among fans of the “Lungu Boy” hitmaker as Afrobeats star Asake officially ushers in a new era. He has announced that his fourth studio album, M$NEY, is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026.
The announcement, which quickly sparked widespread reactions across social media, represents a major milestone in his career. It highlights a bold new artistic direction as he fully embraces his “Mr. Money” identity, backed by a refreshed creative vision and a new institutional structure.
Here’s a full breakdown of what to expect from the upcoming project.
Release Details and Tracklist
Fans won’t have to wait much longer, as Asake has confirmed a global release date for early May.
Album Title:M$NEY
Release Date: May 1, 2026
Total Tracks: 13
Record Labels: Giran Republic & EMPIRE
To accompany the announcement, Asake revealed a striking visual featuring a massive marble sculpture of himself, created by Iraqi-Dutch artist Arthar Jabar. This artistic statement suggests that M$NEY is more than just an album—it symbolizes legacy, success, and his elevated status in the global music scene.
A New Era: Giran Republic
One of the most notable developments is the introduction of Giran Republic. Following reports of a quiet exit from Olamide’s YBNL Nation—where he recorded major breakthroughs—this project becomes his first full album under his own imprint.
Through this move and his partnership with EMPIRE, Asake appears to be stepping into a new phase defined by independence, ownership, and global expansion.
Lead Singles
Early releases from the project already hint at its sonic direction, blending multiple influences and international collaborations:
“Why Love” – A melodic track showcasing his Fuji-inspired vocal style.
“Worship” – A high-energy collaboration with DJ Snake, merging spiritual undertones with global dance elements.
“Badman Gangsta” – A gritty and rhythmic collaboration featuring French artist Tiakola, connecting Lagos and Paris through sound.
