‘You’re disrespecting Christians’ — Singer Asake under fire over ‘Only Me’ video

The singer announced the music video’s release on Thursday.

Directred by TG Omori, the visuals unfolded with Asake donning priestly garb, distributing communion in a setting reminiscent of a sacred church space.

Adding to the spectacle, his ensemble of video vixens mirrored the solemn attire of altar servers — those dutiful assistants who aid priests during religious ceremonies.

The video has ignited a storm of condemnation on social media, particularly on platform X, where users have vehemently accused Asake, who identifies as a Muslim, of persistently disrespecting the Christian faith.

Some users referred to a scene from his ‘Bandana’ video, wherein black goats infiltrate a church, as further evidence to support their claims.

“Asake keeps disrespecting the Christian faith in his music videos. Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful,”

“In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men. Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way?

“Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?” Solomon Buchi, the life coach, wrote

Another user wrote: “Christianity has lost it’s value untill even Muslims are condemning what Asake did in this video”.

Asake is a Muslim but can mock the Catholic Church.
David can't post a video he didn't make which had a mosque.

We saw Tinubu run a Muslim Muslim ticket and hired fake "bishops".

The religion of peace won't tolerate this. pic.twitter.com/b1YE6Mu1NC

Asake, a Muslim. The last time, carried goat inside church. This time he’s in the church again. When davido posted logos olori, muslims burnt his posters & were telling him to put out a public apology.

I don’t understand why he can’t do with his religion.

Asake is a Muslim…

See what mockery he is doing to the Christian and Catholic Faith by displaying a charlatan.

Christians don’t fight to be the Religion of Peace.

We always know what we’re doing… https://t.co/YeNMc9aW5N
