Cars

Asake is known for being secretive about what he shares. He rarely posts videos or photos of his personal life or things, but he did once post a picture of his car.

On social media, he told people about his new house while standing next to a white Range Rover.

The car was parked in front of the house, which showed that he also owned it.

The fast rise to fame of House Ololade brought many good things. On August 18, 2022, he told everyone on social media that he had bought his first house.

Asake posted a picture of himself standing next to his new home with the words “went from hustling for free bed space to investing in real estate” from Fireboy DML’s song “Glory.”

The song is on the same label as Asake. Several Nigerian news outlets said that the “Loaded” star bought the home in Lagos, Nigeria’s Lekki neighborhood, which is known for being very nice.

Lekki is a well-known neighborhood in Nigeria where many famous people live.
