Mr Money With The Vibes: Asake Excite Fans With O2 Arena Concert Announcement.
Talented Nigerian Afrobeat artist Ahmed Ololade, known professionally as Asake, excited fans as he announced the official date for his headline concert at the iconic O2 Arena.
The YBNL star is taking the Afrobeat back to the United Kingdom in grand style.
Asake is set to return to Queensland in 2023 after selling out three performances at the 5000-capacity O2 Brixton Academy in London in 2022.
The YBNL signee experienced a setback when the last lap of his 02 Brixton event was postponed due to a security breach that resulted in death, but he plans to make amends with the 20,000-seat 02 Arena.
On May 5, 2023, the artist announced on social media that his headline performance at the Arena will take place on August 20, 2023.
He wrote:

Meantime, YBNL singer, Asake has stated he did not want to be a singer because he loved dancing and wanted to be a dancer.
Speaking in an interview with ABC, the Omo Ope crooner talked about his early years and how his parents’ passion of music had influenced his career.
Asake claimed that his classical music-loving parents, who played records constantly in their home, had exposed him to music at a young age.
Speaking about his passion for dancing, he acknowledged that he had once been a dancer, but that eventually, he started to fall in love with the concept of being wealthy as well.
Asake claims that he started singing after realizing that dancing by himself wouldn’t be able to earn him the money he desired.
