Award-winning Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has ventured into the cannabis business with the launch of his new brand, “Giran Energy 5K,” in California, USA. The “Joha” crooner shared photos of his new Igbaux brand on his Instagram story, sparking debates and discussions online.
Asake becomes the second Nigerian celebrity to enter the cannabis industry, following in the footsteps of Burna Boy, who launched his “Brkfst” cannabis brand in 2022. The launch of “Giran Energy 5K” has generated massive reactions from Nigerians on social media, with fans expressing a mix of admiration and concern.
Some fans praised Asake’s entrepreneurial spirit, while others questioned the legality and implications of his new venture. Comments ranged from excitement about the potential success of the brand to concerns about the singer’s decision to enter the cannabis market.
Asake’s recent activities have kept him in the spotlight. He recently left YBNL records, owned by rapper Olamide, and celebrated his 30th birthday by gifting himself a brand new Tesla. His new facial tattoos have also sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans speculating about the singer’s state of mind.
Despite the controversies, Asake’s bold move into the cannabis industry highlights his willingness to explore new opportunities and expand his brand beyond music. As the discussions continue, it remains to be seen how “Giran Energy 5K” will fare in the competitive cannabis market.
