TG Omori Sheds Light On Why He “Stopped Working” With Asake

The immensely talented TG Omori, a highly regarded music video director from Nigeria, collaborated with the rising star Asake in 2020 to release the chart-topping single “Organize”. This partnership instantly caught the attention of music fans and industry experts alike, as the duo brought a fresh perspective and raised the bar for creative storytelling in music videos. Their chemistry was undeniable, and their collaboration recently produced some of the most innovative and visually captivating content. However, the two artists have since gone their separate ways, with TG Omori citing the desire to focus on his projects as the reason for their split. Despite this, their groundbreaking work will be remembered as a turning point in the Nigerian music industry.

As time passed, the duo tackled a series of projects, each surpassing the last in terms of innovation and narrative aesthetics. Thanks to the creative prowess of TG Omori and Asake, the music video landscape underwent a significant transformation, making them dominant forces in the industry. However, some speculation surrounds Asake’s decision to collaborate with different directors for his most recent music videos. Some have suggested that this may be due to tensions between Asake and TG Omori, particularly after the release of “YOGA,” – a song that didn’t receive the same level of attention as his previous work. However, these rumours remain unconfirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt.

During an interview on the Zero Conditions podcast on September 10, 2023, TG Omori discussed his professional relationship with Asake and why they decided to stop working together. The accomplished director emphasized their mutual respect, which remains unchanged despite their professional separation.

According to TG Omori, Olamide, the esteemed musician and CEO of YBNL, has consistently supported the growth of talented individuals. As such, it’s unjust to fault Asake for collaborating with other directors, as TG Omori emphasized. This outlook underscores the Nigerian music industry’s professionalism and mutual support, thriving on innovation and teamwork.
