Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has revealed plans to kick off his highly anticipated African tour this December.
In a post shared on Instagram, the singer, known for hits like “Sungba,” confirmed that the tour will carry the name of his debut studio album, Mr Money.
According to the tour flyer, Asake will perform in Nairobi on December 20, Lagos on December 24, and Côte d’Ivoire on December 27. Additional dates and countries are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Born Ahmed Ololade, Asake first rose to prominence in 2020 with the hit track “Lady.” He later joined YBNL Nation in February 2022 and has since released three studio albums: Mr Money With The Vibes (2022), Work of Art (2023), and Lungu Boy (2024).
The singer’s talent has also been recognized on the international stage. This year, he earned a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance, although the award went to fellow Nigerian star Tems.
Recently, Asake dropped the single “Military,” in which he credited Olamide for his mentorship and support in shaping his career. The track reflects his appreciation for the guidance he received while rising to prominence.
In February, Asake released his first single under his new imprint, Giran Republic, titled “Why Love.” This marks the beginning of a new chapter in his career following his departure from YBNL Nation.
