   True  Relationship love better They say true love is a myth, a fairytale whispered under a child's blanket. But I don't believe that. I've seen it firsthand, etched in the wrinkles around my grandparents' eyes as they slow danced in their living room, their hands clasped together for over sixty years.

His new music video for "Only Me" has people fired up, accusing him of mocking Christianity. Apparently, Asake is rocking a full-on priest outfit, complete with a halo, while throwing money at dancers who then dramatically fall down. Talk about dramatic!

Yikes! Fans were not happy then either, calling for the video to be taken down. It seems Asake has a thing for pushing boundaries with religious themes i
