Asake, a Nigerian Afrobeats star, has once again proven that he is a global force to be reckoned with. For the second time, the singer of “Lonely at the Top” sold out London’s iconic O2 Arena, thrilling 20,000 fans. This achievement not only solidifies his place in the music industry, but also demonstrates Afrobeats’ growing international appeal.
The night was full of memorable moments, including Asake’s breathtaking entrance. Descending from the ceiling on a rope, he captivated the audience before beginning his performance with songs from his latest album, Lungu Boy. The energy in the arena was electric, as fans danced and sang along, creating a legendary atmosphere.
One of the night’s biggest highlights was when British actor and rapper Idris Elba presented Asake with a special plaque for selling out the O2 for the second time. Elba encouraged the artist to “dream big,” telling him to strive for what appears impossible.
The surprises did not stop there. Wizkid, one of Nigeria’s most successful music exports, joined Asake onstage to perform their hit song MMS. Fans went crazy over the two stars’ chemistry, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
Asake’s second O2 Arena show marks another milestone in his rapidly rising career, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. With back-to-back sold-out shows and memorable performances, Asake is proving that Afrobeats is taking over the global music scene.
