Asake Trades City Lights for Castles and Bulls in His New “MCBH” Video

Asake just proved once again that he’s not interested in the predictable. The Nigerian superstar has unveiled the official music video for “MCBH” (Money Can’t Buy Happiness), and it’s a cinematic departure that swaps Lagos hustle for European countryside opulence. Pulled from his fourth studio album M$NEY, the visual treatment is as ambitious as the record itself—think matador showdowns, medieval castles, and imagery that refuses to sit still.

The video wastes no time establishing its grandeur, opening with sweeping aerial shots of a moated castle nestled among lush green fields. What follows is a visual feast that bounces between surreal and luxurious with dizzying speed. Asake appears draped in an ornate white jacket studded with pearls and crystals, cape in hand, staring down a massive black bull in full matador fashion. Moments later, he’s levitating beneath a mounted bull’s head in a cavernous stone hall, then cruising on a motorcycle through serene rural backroads. The video keeps moving—outdoor lounging with wine glasses, vintage revolvers pointed at the lens, off-road buggies flying over crimson fabric strips, and even a haunting human reflection captured in the eye of a bull. It’s restless, unpredictable, and completely mesmerizing.

Produced by Blaisebeatz and Alhaji Tunga, “MCBH” stands as one of the strongest cuts from M$NEY, an album that recently made history as the longest-charting number-one project on Apple Music Nigeria in 2026. The song’s introspective edge gets a bold visual counterpart here, one that reinforces Asake’s commitment to pushing boundaries not just sonically, but visually too. If you’ve been sleeping on this track, consider this your wake-up call—the visuals alone are worth the replay.
