Popular Afrobeats singer, Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has said it is better to be egoistic than to be “too humble,”, emphasizing that excessive humility often brings disrespect.
The ‘Lonely at the Top’ crooner made this known in a video making the rounds on social media, where he was seen chatting with a group of friends.
In the now-viral clip, Asake recalled how some people once took him “for granted” because he was “too humble.”

He went on to say when someone is egoistic, people feel he or she is inaccessible and they place more value on the person.
Speaking during the chat with his friends, Asake said: “To me, humility is like a waste of time. People don’t appreciate it. At the end of the day, life is about your perception. That is how I think. It’s my world.
“I’ve been around people, that I tried to let them say who I am but they didn’t appreciate it. As an artiste, if you come to somewhere, if you’re humble, they will take you for granted. But if you have ego, they feel like you’re not accessible so they will like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than you showing them humility. So, just do what you need to do.”
