Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has sparked massive online buzz after quietly changing his Instagram handle from @asakemusic to @MrMoney, a move that has left fans convinced a new album or rebrand is on the way.
The change, which occurred without any formal announcement, immediately caught the attention of Asake’s over 5 million Instagram followers. Within hours, fans flooded social media with speculation, suggesting the singer’s new handle could mark the beginning of a new creative era.
“Mr. Money” isn’t just a nickname — it’s the title that defined Asake’s rise to fame. His breakout hit “Mr. Money” (2020) and debut album Mr. Money With The Vibe (2022) established him as one of Afrobeats’ most successful global stars.
Industry sources suggest the handle switch could be linked to his upcoming album titled Money, which the singer teased earlier in 2025. The highly anticipated project will reportedly be Asake’s first major release under his new independent label, Giran Republic, following his departure from Olamide’s YBNL Nation earlier this year.

Fans’ excitement grew after a studio video clip surfaced online showing Asake recording with producer Young Jonn, adding to the speculation that the artist is gearing up for a new rollout.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect — Asake has dominated 2025 with hit singles like “Why Love”and “Che Che”, both of which topped Nigerian and international charts. His upcoming Mr. Money African Tour 2025, set to begin in December, further fuels anticipation that a major announcement could drop before the tour kicks off.
While Asake has yet to confirm any release date, his bold rebrand suggests something big is coming. Fans believe that whenever Mr. Money moves, the industry shifts — and this might be the start of another record-breaking chapter.
