What happens when Afrobeats royalty Wizkid meets Asake — aka Mr Money, aka Ololade mi Asake — in the studio? Fans won’t have to wonder for long. The dynamic duo has just announced their joint EP, Real Vol. 1, set to drop this December, and the excitement is practically vibrating through the internet.
The news came during a recent Apple Music session, where Wizkid, all smiles, shared: “Special announcement, 2025 Mr Money X Big Wiz project. It’s called Real, and it drops this December. For the people, Vol. 1.” Asake nodded along in full agreement, radiating that signature energy that fans have come to love.
But this collaboration isn’t just about music; it’s about chemistry. Asake described their bond as “real” — a friendship and creative connection that’s been building for years. Remember MMS from Asake’s Lungu Boy? That Grammy-nominated track was just a taste of the magic these two create together.
Their stage moments are just as legendary. Last month, Wizkid made a surprise appearance at Asake’s sold-out Red Bull Symphonic concert at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre. With a 33-piece orchestra and appearances from heavy hitters like Central Cee, Gunna, and Fridayy, it was a night fans won’t forget anytime soon.
For anyone who’s been following their journey, Real Vol. 1 promises the perfect blend of friendship, creativity, and Afrobeats brilliance. December can’t come soon enough.
