'He can do better than this,' rapper CDQ criticises Asake for new snippet

‘He can do better than this,’ rapper CDQ criticises Asake for new snippet

After an unprecedented 2022 run that saw chart-topping hits and a record-breaking debut album, Asake has continued in 2023 with the release of another chart-topper ‘Yoga’.

He has teased his next release through his social media handles and the snippet shows a return to his dominant Amapiano sound.

This teaser has however divided fans with some calling it monotonous and repetitive while others are euphoric by its appealing familiarity.

One of the people who has aired their opinion on the new teaser is rapper CDQ who described it as being too similar to his hit single ‘Pallazo’.

“Sounds like ‘Pallazo’. He can do better than this though” CDQ commented.

These criticisms wouldn’t come as a surprise to Asake who had to navigate a similar situation after he released ‘Sungba’ remix featuring Burna Boy and the similarity in the sound led to some fans calling him “Sungba man” on Twitter.

At any rate, Asake is set to continue his dominance in 2023 and it’s unlikely that he will be perturbed by the criticism.
