Check out - Post made by Asake on Instagram concering his Album release
LAGOS - The "Mr. Money" era is reaching a new peak. Global Afrobeats sensation Asake has officially confirmed that his highly anticipated fourth studio album, ‘M$NEY’, will be released on May 1, 2026.
The announcement was unveiled through a visually stunning teaser video featuring a marble sculpture of the singer being meticulously carved symbolizing the "monumental" nature of this upcoming project. Released under the EMPIRE label, the album is already available for pre-save on all major streaming platforms.
Inside the Tracklist: 13 Songs and Global Icons
‘M$NEY’ is set to be a concise but heavy-hitting 13-track project. Asake continues his signature trend of blending traditional Yoruba melodies with high-energy Amapiano and Afrobeats production.
Confirmed Highlights:
• International Collaborations: The album features the viral hit “BADMAN GANGSTA” alongside French rapper Tiakola, and the cross-genre anthem “WORSHIP” featuring global superstar DJ Snake.
• Solo Hits: Fans can expect the inclusion of the fan-favorite single “WHY LOVE".
• The Evolution: Coming off the heels of his massive 2026 collaboration with Wizkid, this album marks Asake’s most ambitious attempt to solidify his "Global Pop" status.
The Rollout: A Masterclass in Branding
The marble sculpture aesthetic of the album art suggests a theme of "permanence" and "legacy". Since his breakout, Asake has released a project every year, but ‘M$NEY’ is being positioned as his most refined work to date. Industry insiders suggest the production leans heavily into "Electronic-Amapiano", a sound Asake has pioneered alongside his long-time producers.
What This Means for the Charts
With a release date of May 1, Asake is perfectly positioned to capture the early summer festival circuit. Following his sold-out arena tours in 2025, ‘M$NEY’ is expected to debut at the top of the charts in Nigeria, the UK, and several European markets where his influence has exploded.
