Asake has joined forces with French artist Tiakola on a new track titled Badman Gangsta—and it hits with the kind of cool, confident energy that both stars are known for.
The song dives into themes of street smarts, ambition, and staying true to yourself. Asake delivers his verses with that signature relaxed swagger, dropping lines about blessings, success, and knowing how to move wisely—“stacking paper, play nicely, Leo Messi.” Tiakola flows in seamlessly with smooth French bars that touch on hustle, ambition, and moments between Makala and Marbella.
But beyond the grit, there’s a touch of charm. Asake sings to a woman who’s drawn to his fearless energy, while Tiakola keeps it flirtatious with lines like, “Elle aime les vrais gangstas, ceux qui sont pas instables”—a nod to women who love men with depth and direction.
With an infectious Afrobeats groove fused with melodic French flair, Badman Gangsta is the kind of song that effortlessly connects continents—from Lagos nightlife to Paris rooftops.
