Asake and Tiakola Drop Fiery Collab “Badman Gangsta” – A Bold Anthem of Swagger and Ambition (video)

 Nigerian Afrobeats Star and French Rapper Serve Up Club-Ready Banger Blending Street Cred and Romance

Nigerian hitmaker Asake has joined forces with French rap sensation Tiakola to unleash “Badman Gangsta” – a slick, high-energy track that oozes confidence, hustle, and irresistible charm.

The song is a brash celebration of success, street smarts, and living unapologetically. Asake glides over the beat with his signature laid-back yet commanding flow, dropping bars about stacking paper and moving wisely (“play nicely, Leo Messi”). Tiakola complements the vibe with smooth French verses, weaving between ambition and late-night romance as he name-drops Makala and Marbella.

But it’s not all bravado—there’s a flirty edge to the track too. Asake croons about a woman drawn to his “badman” energy, while Tiakola echoes the sentiment with lines like “Elle aime les vrais gangstas, ceux qui sont pas instables” (She loves real gangstas, the ones who aren’t unstable).

Built on an infectious Afrobeats rhythm infused with Tiakola’s melodic French flair, “Badman Gangsta” is tailor-made to ignite dancefloors from Lagos to Paris. With its mix of swagger, romance, and club-ready vibes, this collab is set to dominate playlists worldwide.

Watch below—does it live up to the hype?
