The controversy arose after photos of Asake and India Love surfaced online, leading to widespread speculation about a potential romantic relationship.
Tunde Phoenix, who previously served as Asake's strategist, took to his Instagram Stories to express his disapproval. He questioned the effectiveness of such a strategy for promoting new music, labeling it a "dead rollout" that was transparently inauthentic. He further advised Asake to focus on releasing quality music rather than resorting to fabricated relationships for publicity.
Additionally, Tunde accused Asake of attempting to emulate the promotional tactics of artists like Burna Boy and Chloe Bailey, who have garnered attention for their high-profile relationships. He implied that Asake's efforts appeared desperate and lacked originality.
In response to the rumors, India Love clarified that she and Asake are not dating, stating that the photos in question were taken during a music video shoot. Tunde Phoenix shared her response on his Instagram, further mocking Asake by captioning it, "She don confess," suggesting that the truth behind the stunt had been revealed.
This incident has sparked discussions about authenticity in music promotion and the lengths to which artists may go to generate buzz for their work.
