Asake under fire over ‘Only Me’ video
![](https://bodexng.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Asake-under-fire-over-‘Only-Me-video.jpg)
Asake, the Nigerian singer, has provoked outrage on social media over his recently released visuals for ‘Only Me’, his hit single.
The singer announced the music video’s release on Thursday — (watch the video here).
Directed by TG Omori, the visuals saw Asake clad in priestly regalia while giving out communion in a place decorated like a church.
His video vixens were also dressed up like altar servers — the people who assist the priests in the church.
The video has attracted a chorus of condemnation on social media, especially X, where users accused Asake, a Muslim, of “continually disrespecting the Christian faith”.
Some users also referred to a scene in his ‘Bandana‘ video, where black goats trooped into a church to prove their arguments.
“Asake keeps disrespecting the Christian faith in his music videos. Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful,” Solomon Buchi, the life coach, wrote.
“In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men. Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way?
“Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?”
Another user wrote: “Christianity has lost it’s value untill even Muslims are condemning what Asake did in this video”.
Here is what some other users had to say:
This not the first time, asake olamide and the entire ybnl are disrespecting Christians.

Asake is a Muslim let him shoot his video in a mosque wearing an iman's robe.
If you're a Christian and you're still an asake fan, you're a big f00l! pic.twitter.com/nWTZFZ4JOJ
The problem is not Asake but the TG guy director. Not the first time he’s mocking the church for his music video and he will always be Lousy about it.

I love Asake's music, but his recent actions are deeply disrespectful to Christianity. Dramatizing the Eucharist and donning priestly regalia for a music video unrelated to Christianity crosses a line. It's concerning that he doesn't extend this level of disregard to his own… pic.twitter.com/3sXPxilscU

Asake is a Muslim but can mock the Catholic Church.

David can't post a video he didn't make which had a mosque.
We saw Tinubu run a Muslim Muslim ticket and hired fake "bishops".
The religion of peace won't tolerate this. pic.twitter.com/b1YE6Mu1NC
Asake’s act in the “Only Me” music video, where he and his vixens were adorned in “catholic clergy cassocks” is blasphemous.

The TG Omori-inspired concept portrayed Asake as “Christ” while his vixens were the “disciples.” His vixens caricatured the Christian style of “falling… pic.twitter.com/DPhwYhNfoh
Christianity is the actual religion of peace, tolerance and the gullible.

The faith enjoins all to live in harmony, love and defend its name without chopping off heads.
And that’s why folks like Asake; a Muslim could make a caricature of Christianity with zero repercussions. pic.twitter.com/DYruntwf48
Music videos used to have a concept or a theme that portrays the music, but these days, TG Omori keeps getting away with a lot of mediocrity and disrespect.

Asake is a Muslim, but he’s playing a Catholic priest role in a music video.
They never disrespect Islam like this.
Asake is a Muslim…

See what mockery he is doing to the Christian and Catholic Faith by displaying a charlatan.
Christians don’t fight to be the Religion of Peace.
We always know what we’re doing… https://t.co/YeNMc9aW5N
Asake is a muslim and the lyrics do not even correlate, this is just pure disrespect https://t.co/8ZevWtByEb

Is this not desecration of the Catholic Christian Faith by Asake ?
— Raymond (@IamTheIroko) February 29, 2024
He is not even a Christian… Shouldn't Christians make demands like the others did to Davido ? pic.twitter.com/6KPrrRZDSM
Asake, a Muslim. The last time, carried goat inside church. This time he’s in the church again. When davido posted logos olori, muslims burnt his posters & were telling him to put out a public apology.

I don’t understand why he can’t do with his religion.

Adetshina addresses identity theft claim, says she earned Miss Universe Nigeria win
![](https://bodexng.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chidimma.png)
Chidimma Adetshina, the recently crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, has finally addressed the claims of identity theft in South Africa.
Chidimma was born in 2001 in Soweto at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. Her father is of Igbo descent while some reports said her mother is a Mozambican who had become a naturalized citizen of South Africa.
The model sparked controversy during this year’s Miss South Africa pageant due to her nationality.
This led to a surge of criticism on social media, particularly from South Africans. Chidimma would later withdraw from the Miss South Africa contest.
Her withdrawal came after the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) for South Africa alleged that preliminary evidence suggests Chidimma’s mother may have committed fraud and identity theft.
Speaking on the matter in an Arise TV interview, the 23-year-old denied any wrongdoing, saying “I didn’t steal anyone’s identity”.
The young woman, however, declined to elaborate, citing ongoing investigations and concerns about potential contradictions.
“I did not steal anyone’s identity. Obviously I am still waiting on the conclusion of the whole case and matter, then moving forward, I will know exactly what to say,” she said.
“Because I feel like now if I say something and something comes out tomorrow, it could be like but you said this then something else. I am just avoiding all those two things contradicting one another.”
On August 14, the model accepted the invitation to participate in this year’s Miss Universe Nigeria pageant. She was recently crowned winner of the pageant.
Speaking on her victory, Chidimma also dismissed insinuations that she won the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant “out of pity”.
She argued that she went through the same rigorous experience as all contestants, adding that “I worked hard to earn my title”.
“A lot of people felt like it was a pity win and I do not think so. I feel like I really worked hard. Coming from the SA journey, we spent 10 weeks in camp,” she said.
“It might have been a slight difference but I feel like, if we have to look at the journey that we have all been through, I feel like I had the same experience that they did.”
