Humility is like a waste of time, people don’t appreciate it – Asake

Afrobeats singer, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has expressed his disappointment at the attitudes of some people.

According to him, humility is a waste of time and people do not appreciate it.

The singer said this while narrating to some friends how some people have taken him for granted because of his humility.

While recounting an experience, the singer said that it is better to be egocentric, because too much humility often brings disrespect.

Asake was of the view that people value those who are self-centred and inaccessible.

He said:

“To me, humility is like a waste of time. People don’t appreciate it. At the end of the day, life is about your perception. That is how I think. It’s my world.

I’ve been around people, that I tried to let them say who I am but they didn’t appreciate it. As an artiste, if you come to somewhere, if you’re humble, they will take you for granted. But if you have ego, they feel like you’re not accessible so they will like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than you showing them humility. So, just do what you need to do.”
