The singer has a large, noticeable tattoo over his neck that features all five of his stage name.

The 29-year-old artist explained that his tattoos represent determination.

"In Nigeria, if you have a tattoo on your neck, you can't work anywhere. I can't work for any company. I can't sell anything," Asake explains.

According to Asake, he got the tattoo during a particularly depressing, hopeless, and uncertain period in his life.

"I was tired," he recalls. "I felt like, I don't want to keep trying."

His response to those feelings of doubt was to get a neck tattoo and give himself no other option.
