Afrobeats star Asake has sparked major buzz online after changing his Instagram handle from @asakemusic to @MrMoney, a move that has fans speculating about an impending album release and tour announcement.
The sudden rebrand, made on Wednesday, comes just months after the Grammy-nominated singer first teased his upcoming fourth studio album, Money. The name change appears to signal that Asake is entering the final phase of the album rollout, with many interpreting it as a deliberate marketing move ahead of a major project drop.
“Mr. Money” is far from a new identity for the singer. It’s the nickname that propelled him to fame with his 2020 breakout single Mr. Money and was later immortalized in the title of his 2022 chart-topping debut album Mr. Money with the Vibe. The phrase has since become synonymous with his artistic brand and larger-than-life persona.
The timing of the switch has only intensified speculation. Asake recently shared a short clip from a recording studio, hinting that new music could be in the works. Fans believe the rebrand could mark the start of a new era under his independent label, Giran Republic, following his exit from YBNL earlier in the year.
The singer has had an eventful 2025, dropping hits like Why Love and Che Che with Young Jonn, both of which have dominated streaming platforms. He’s also gearing up for his upcoming Mr. Money African Tour 2025, set to kick off in December.
With the @MrMoney handle now firmly in place, anticipation is running high. Many fans are convinced that Asake’s long-awaited Money album is about to drop, and that the new name marks the beginning of another explosive chapter in his Afrobeats reign.
