The Nigerian artist Asake performed a remarkable set of his hit songs to a raucous audience at his O2 Arena concert on Sunday.
The ‘Joha’ hitmaker wowed the 20,000-person capacity London auditorium with a brilliant mix of his exceptional repertoire of songs and stage presentation.
of the ethereal sound of ‘Olorun,’ the opener track of his sophomore album ‘Work Of Art,’ Asake made a dramatic arrival into the arena via helicopter.

Upon descending, he serenaded the audience with tracks from ‘Mr Money With The Vibes’, his first album.
Asake then invited Fireboy on stage as the duo had the crowd miming along to their monster hit song ‘Bandana’.

Olamide was also on the stage to the cheers from the fans as he dazzled with his lyrics from songs like ‘Omo Ope’ and ‘Amapiano’.
Asake’s 02 Arena concert followed after he sold out three dates at the 5000-capacity O2 Brixton Academy in London in 2022.
The last year’s concert was, however, marred by a stampede which led to the death of two people.
Asake has continued to enjoy massive reception since he came into the limelight. He has also won an avalanche of awards for his craft.
Upon the release of his debut album, all 12 songs occupied the top spots on Apple Music’s Top 100 chart in Nigeria.
