EN: Asa Opens Up About Challenges, Loneliness & Price Of Success

[@idairottompaul6592]

I came from a remote village in North Eastern part of Uganda, Asa's first song that I heard was jailer by that time technology was out of us and only radio stations owned the song so i promised my to look until I get. Cos it had a part in me, I love Asa. I hope one time you come to Uganda it will be the first I will go for a concert.

[@Bookunming]

Damn! I love what you wrote, especially where you mentioned the radio. Makes me wanna come to Uganda and relate with your culture.

[@afri-ka1956]

I can't believe she puts it all down to luck... I mean that's the most humble thing I ever heard from a Nigerian artist

[@oakpropertiesportharcourt]

Very True

[@oludarealaba9947]

That's correct dear Badejo,. Despite bn outstanding in all lines and sounds in her music,,that's what actually led to her Identity bn revealed,,,,it's a process,,,

ASA is one musician I dearly loved and respect. She’s so talented. Her singing voice is so unique that no singing voice could be compared with. Can’t forget one of her song till I die. The first time I heard the song was from sleep. I mean I woke up from the song, it so deep to soul. Eye a daba tin fo lo ki. God continue to bless her voice. I know imma’ see her someday. Peace.

[@riminimachunga476]

Asa is an exceptional artist. Her music is deeply felt in my spirit. The little that she has shared about her personal life... Heartfelt. Asa is great! I have heard her song as a background music in a Greek Television movie. A Greek Senior Citizen was watching the show!

[@oludarealaba9947]

100 percent exceptional, 😘

[@murphyeguaoje8077]

I bought her first song "ASA with songs like jailer, fire on the mountain and others. And I heard a lady who sang in poetry. She didn't show no ass or naked girls displaying their intestines but she sang with a voice and diction so clear with a bit of Yoruba accent. I play her music all the time. The songs will be like fine wine that becomes priceless with times. And hey lady find Jesus in your calm moments he will help you get over the noise of the crowded hours

[@use828]

MURPHY EGUAOJE Nice! I love your closing statement 👏👏👍. Life with Jesus and after here is most important. All these will pass, where we spend eternity is very key.

[@murphyeguaoje8077]

E.D. Akin thanks bro. Yes Jesus has really helped me get over the craziness of the noise out there hustling. At the end of the day I come back to my room. When I sought him in my little room he helps me sought the noise in the big world. Hence my advice to ASA and everyone no matter the status should find that balance in life. Else one might go crazy. Or being Rich yet sad, not contented and depressed.

[@use828]

MURPHY EGUAOJE. NA SO BROS, NO GREATER LOVE THAN THAT OF JESUS AND D ALMIGHTY, THAT WHILST WE WERE YET SINNERS, YET SINNERS AND YET SINNERS THE CONCEPT OF THE CRUCIFIXION WAS CONCEIVED BY D GODHEAD 💗🙌 👏👍 Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
