Yhemolee, a Nigerian media personality, recently revealed that he spent 4.5 million naira on the production of the video for Asake’s “Mr. Money (Remix),” only for the video to be shelved and never released.
Yhemolee shared this information during an interview, emphasizing how disappointing it was after such a large investment in the project.
Asake, whose rise to fame has been marked by major hits like “Sungba” and his successful debut album Mr. Money with the Vibe, has enjoyed widespread acclaim across Africa and internationally. This particular remix was anticipated by fans, but the unreleased video has left many wondering why it was scrapped despite Yhemolee’s heavy financial backing .
This revelation underscores the unpredictable nature of the music industry, where creative decisions can sometimes lead to the cancellation of projects even after significant investments have been made.
Yhemolee’s comments bring to light the behind-the-scenes challenges artists and collaborators face, even after securing mainstream success.
