Nigerian Afrobeats star Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has melted hearts online after surprising his mother with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon reportedly worth about $230,000.
A video that quickly went viral on social media captured the touching moment the award-winning singer unveiled the luxury SUV. In the clip, his mother appeared visibly overwhelmed, wrapping her son in a warm embrace as she admired the sleek vehicle.
The scene has since sparked admiration from fans, many of whom described it as a beautiful show of gratitude.
The heartwarming gesture comes during the holy month of Ramadan, adding deeper meaning to the moment. Supporters flooded comment sections with prayers and praise, commending the singer for honouring his mother in such a grand way.
Beyond the surprise gift, Asake has also been making notable public appearances alongside his mum. The duo recently paid a courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at his palace in Ile-Ife.
Sharing highlights from the visit, the monarch expressed joy at welcoming the singer back home, recalling that Asake spent part of his formative years in Ife. He also praised the singer’s mother, describing her as a steadfast pillar who played a vital role in shaping his journey.

In another recent outing, the singer was spotted at a supercar event in Accra, Ghana, where he exchanged pleasantries with Ghana’s president, John Mahama. The brief but notable interaction further underscored his growing influence beyond Nigeria’s borders.
Asake rose to prominence with street anthems like Mr Money and Omo Ope featuring Olamide, and has since evolved into one of the leading figures in Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene.
From topping charts to sharing special family moments, the singer’s latest gesture shows that even amid global fame, gratitude still sits close to home.
