Afrobeats star Asake, known as Mr. Money, has made a headline-grabbing declaration that has sparked widespread reactions. The popular musician recently stated that he plans to marry 1,000 wives and keep 300 sidechicks, claiming he will surpass the legendary King Solomon’s record of 700 wives and 300 concubines.
Asake’s bold statement seems to have been inspired by the overwhelming love and admiration he receives from his female fans. “Every time I go on Twitter (X), I see so many girls saying, ‘I am going to see my husband, Asake today.’ I am Mr. Money, and since money is not the problem, I am going to marry any girl who calls me her husband and keep any girl who calls me her boyfriend as a sidechick,” the artist said.
While his comments have stirred controversy, they also reflect his charismatic and playful persona, which has endeared him to fans across Africa and beyond. Asake’s appeal isn’t just rooted in his hit songs but also in his confident and carefree attitude. He added that “love is something we don’t joke with, so I can’t joke with the feelings of ladies,” suggesting that his tongue-in-cheek declaration is just another way of expressing the connection he feels with his fans.
Asake’s rise to fame has been meteoric, and his statement has only heightened the buzz around him. Whether or not he’s serious about breaking King Solomon’s record, one thing is clear: Asake knows how to keep people talking, and his star power continues to soar.
