Dami Marshal denies dating Asake
Dami Marshal, daughter of veteran Fuji musician K1 De Ultimate (King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal), has publicly denied reports linking her romantically to Nigerian singer Asake, clarifying that the rumours circulating on social media are not true. In a statement shared through her official social media channels, Dami described the speculations as “unfounded” and emphasised that she and Asake are just friends and colleagues within the music and entertainment industry.
The denial came in response to a wave of online chatter and viral posts suggesting that she was in a romantic relationship with Asake, one of Nigeria’s leading Afro-fusion and street-pop artists. Fans and social media users had pointed to shared photos, friendly interactions at events, and mutual support during public appearances as supposed evidence of a personal relationship. Dami Marshal, however, stressed that such interpretations were inaccurate and urged followers to respect her privacy and the professional nature of her connection with Asake.
In her clarification, she highlighted that friendship and professional support between artists and public figures often lead to misconceptions, especially in the age of social media where fans and influencers rapidly draw conclusions from casual sightings. She asked well-wishers to focus on her own pursuits and career rather than speculative narratives about her personal life.
The public response has been varied. Many fans commended Dami for addressing the rumours directly, while others continued to discuss the topic online, reflecting the intense interest that often surrounds celebrity relationships in Nigeria’s entertainment scene. Asake has not publicly commented on the matter, and there has been no indication from his side regarding the rumours.
