Asake has officially confirmed that his highly anticipated new album M$NEY will drop on May 1, 2026, marking the next chapter in one of Afrobeatsโ€™ fastest-rising careers. ย 

M$NEY isnโ€™t just another release, itโ€™s a statement.

The project arrives as Asakeโ€™s fourth studio album in just a few years, following a dominant run that includes:

  • Mr. Money With The Vibe
  • Work of Art
  • Lungu Boy

But this time, the context is different.

This album marks a deeper step into independence under his imprint, signaling a shift from breakout star to fully controlled artist. ย 

 

  • Release Date: May 1, 2026 ย 
  • Tracks: 13 songs expected ย 
  • Confirmed songs include:
    • โ€œWhy Loveโ€
    • โ€œBadman Gangstaโ€ (feat. Tiakola)
    • โ€œWorshipโ€ (with DJ Snake) ย 

The rollout has also been anything but ordinary.

Asake teased the album with a marble sculpture visual, a symbolic move that hints at legacy, status, and permanence less about hype, more about positioning.

Since breaking out in 2022, Asake hasnโ€™t slowed down.

From record-breaking streams to global tours, his rise has been defined by consistency and volume dropping hits at a pace the industry rarely sustains. M$NEY now arrives as a test of something deeper:

Not just how fast he can rise

But how far he can evolve.

 

In todayโ€™s Afrobeats landscape, timing is everything.

And May 1 places Asake right at the center of the yearโ€™s next major cycle positioning M$NEY as a potential summer-defining project.

But beyond timing, this album carries weight.

Itโ€™s about:

  • Ownership
  • Identity
  • And the transition from hitmaker to long-term force

 

May 1 is locked.

The momentum is already there.
The rollout is in motion.

And with M$NEY, Asake isnโ€™t just dropping another album.

Heโ€™s making a statement about where he stands and where heโ€™s going next.
