Nigerian singer, Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, seems to have courted the trouble of some Muslims as he was dragged by a Saudi Arabian Muslim TikToker, Brother Kareem.
The social media influencer said that Asake disrespected Islam by adding a powerful verse of the Quran to his song. He also slammed those using Alhamdulillah (praise be to God) in their songs.
@brotherkareem_ on TikTok shared a screenshot of the song's lyrics with the Quaran verse on his TikTok page. He added that he does not know if Asake is a Muslim or not but he should be cautioned.

He noted that Allah should be feared and not messed with. Besides, doing the latter is a disgusting act and he discouraged netizens from listening to the song.
According to Brother Kareem, there are certain Muslims who do not find Asake's act offensive. He lambasted them and said disrespecting Allah should not be justified.
Asake is a 29-year-old Muslim singer born in Lagos state. This would not be the first time he would be accused of disrespecting religion. When he shot the video of his song, Only Me, he was seen rocking a Catholic outfit majorly worn by priests, which unsettled Christians.
