Asake Sets May 1 Release Date for New Album 'M$NEY'

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Asake has officially revealed that his upcoming fourth studio album, bearing the title M$NEY, is slated for release on May 1, 2026.

The artist shared this announcement alongside a visual presentation featuring a marble sculpture of himself being carved. Information regarding the album's rollout also indicates that pre-saves are now available on Apple Music. The album will be released under the banner of EMPIRE Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc.

Sources indicate that M$NEY will comprise 13 tracks. The project is set to include previously shared songs such as “WHY LOVE,” “BADMAN GANGSTA,” which features Tiakola, and “WORSHIP,” a collaboration with DJ Snake. This release continues Asake's established approach of incorporating both solo offerings and international features leading up to a full album launch.

This new album follows a period of consistent musical output from the artist, who has maintained an active presence with both individual and collaborative releases recently. His earlier 2026 project with Wizkid further solidified his ongoing impact on the music scene.

Asake has cultivated a distinct musical identity by fusing Yoruba-inspired melodies with Afrobeats and Amapiano influences, a style that has been central to his rapid ascent in recent years. With M$NEY now formally announced, anticipation is high for how this project will contribute to his expanding repertoire of music that garners global streams.
