Asake Trades City Streets for Castles in New MCBH Video
Asake just proved he can surprise fans no matter how many videos he drops. His latest visuals trade the usual city backdrop for something completely unexpected. AfrobeatsGlobal breaks down everything happening in the new Asake MCBH video.
The song, “MCBH,” short for Money Can’t Buy Happiness, comes from his fourth studio album, M$NEY. That project recently became the longest charting number one album on Apple Music Nigeria this year. Now, the anchor track gets a cinematic visual treatment unlike anything he has released before.
Inside The Asake MCBH Video Concept
The video opens with an aerial shot of a historic moated castle surrounded by green countryside. From there, the scenes shift constantly between luxury, surrealism, and unexpected imagery. Asake appears dressed as a matador at one point, facing down a black bull with a red cape. Moments later, he is shown levitating inside a vast stone hall beneath a mounted bull’s head.
Throughout the video, Asake rides a motorcycle through quiet rural roads and relaxes on an outdoor sofa. Meanwhile, other scenes include a woman pointing a vintage revolver at the camera. An off-road buggy launches over strips of red fabric spread across the ground. Every scene adds another layer of surprise to the overall visual experience.
Why This Video Direction Stands Out
Asake has built a reputation for videos rooted in vibrant, energetic city environments. This new direction toward countryside luxury marks a clear shift in his visual storytelling. Furthermore, the reflection of a human figure appearing in the bull’s eye adds a surreal, almost dreamlike touch. It shows a level of creative ambition beyond his earlier releases.
The track itself was produced by Blaisebeatz and Alhaji Tunga, both key contributors to the M$NEY album’s sound. Their production supports the emotional weight behind the song’s title and message. Additionally, the video’s constant scene changes mirror the song’s exploration of wealth and personal fulfillment. Every visual choice feels intentional rather than random.
Since M$NEY became such a dominant chart presence, fans have anticipated strong visual content to match. This video delivers exactly that, blending luxury aesthetics with unexpected surreal touches throughout. Therefore, it reinforces Asake‘s position as one of the most visually ambitious artists in Afrobeats today. His willingness to experiment continues paying off creatively.
If you already had M$NEY on repeat, this video gives you another reason to press play again. Asake continues finding new ways to keep his rollout fresh and engaging for fans. Consequently, this release adds even more momentum to an already record-breaking album era.
