Nigerian Afrobeats singer Asake, known for hit songs like Lonely at the Top and Sungba, has now entered the cannabis business. He recently launched a new cannabis brand called Giran Energy 5K in California, USA.
The brand name “Giran” comes from a slang word in Nigeria, often linked to cannabis. Asake shared pictures of his new business on social media, showing off branded packaging and a fresh product line.
Since California allows the legal sale of cannabis, Asake is following in the footsteps of other international artists who have invested in the industry.
Asake’s new business has received mixed reactions from fans. Some people support him, saying it’s a smart move for his career. Others are not happy, because cannabis is still illegal in Nigeria.
However, Asake is not the first celebrity to enter the cannabis business. Many artists around the world, including American rappers, have launched their own brands.
Even though Asake is now a businessman, he has not said anything about leaving music. Fans can still expect him to release new songs and perform while running his business.
