Critics within the Christian community have voiced their dismay over the recent music video release by Afrobeat artist Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake. Titled "Only Me," the video, directed by TG Omori, quickly garnered attention, amassing over 150,000 views in just five hours. However, it was not the views that stirred controversy, but rather the depiction of Asake donning priestly attire within the visuals. This imagery, critics argue, exhibits a lack of respect towards Christianity.

Solomon_Buchi, expressing his concerns on Thursday via his social media handle, condemned Asake's portrayal, particularly in scenes that dramatize elements of the Eucharist. Moreover, the use of priestly regalia in a music video disconnected from any religious context was deemed disrespectful. Solomon_Buchi questioned why Asake, who is presumed to be Muslim, chooses to depict such controversial scenes related to Christianity rather than his own faith.

Similarly, BG_Liberty criticized the video, rating it poorly and questioning the decisions made by both the director and those who greenlit the concept. The sentiment echoed by BG_Liberty highlights a perceived disrespect towards Christianity, urging Asake to consider how such actions would be received within his own religious community.

@AniBae94, another social media user, expressed frustration over Asake's repeated controversial portrayals, referencing a previous music video where goats were filmed in a church setting. The recent depiction of Asake as a priest, handling communion in what is described as an "ungodly manner," only added to the discontent felt by @AniBae94 and others within the Christian community.

Overall, these criticisms underscore a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction and offense within certain segments of the Christian audience towards Asake's artistic choices, particularly when they involve religious imagery perceived as disrespectful or sacrilegious.
