Asake, the Nigerian Afrobeats sensation known as Mr Money, has officially announced the release of his fourth studio album, M$NEY, set for May 1st, 2026, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation. The news has sparked widespread excitement across Nigeria and the global music scene, with fans already counting down the days. Asake’s growing legacy, built on chart-topping albums and record-breaking performances, makes this upcoming project one of the most anticipated releases in African music this year.
The artist, who has consistently delivered high-quality music since his debut, has already proven his ability to dominate both streaming platforms and live stages. His previous albums — Mr Money With The Vibe, Work of Art, and Lungu Boy — have collectively broken streaming records, sold out major arenas, and solidified his status as one of Africa’s most consistent and influential musicians. With no weak project in his discography, fans are confident that M$NEY will continue this winning streak.
While the wait for May 2026 may feel long, Asake’s extensive back catalogue offers plenty to keep listeners engaged. One standout track is “Sungba (Remix)” featuring Burna Boy, which reached number seven on the US Afrobeats Songs chart. Originally from his debut EP Ololade Asake, the song blends hypnotic amapiano beats with Asake’s signature fuji-infused hip-hop flow, produced by his longtime collaborator Magicsticks. The remix’s global success marked a turning point in his career.
Another essential listen is “Peace Be Unto You” (PBUY) from Mr Money With The Vibe. The track fuses Islamic chants with high-energy production, showcasing Asake’s ability to merge personal and cultural elements into universally appealing music. “Lonely at the Top” from Work of Art stands out for its emotional depth, reaching number four on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart and resonating with audiences through its introspective lyrics on success and isolation.
“Basquiat,” also from Work of Art, draws inspiration from the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and reflects Asake’s unapologetic confidence. The track peaked at number five on the UK Afrobeats chart and spent 13 weeks on the list. Meanwhile, “Remember” from Lungu Boy became the most-streamed song in Nigeria on Spotify in 2024, proving Asake’s continued innovation and appeal.
Asake’s journey from underground talent to global star has been marked by authenticity, creativity, and relentless work ethic. With M$NEY on the horizon, fans are eager to see how he evolves his sound and pushes the boundaries of Afrobeats even further. The album’s release is not just a musical event — it’s a cultural moment that Nigeria and the world are ready to embrace.
