Ahmed Oloade, popularly known as Asake, etched his name in the annals of Nigerian music history on Sunday night by becoming the first emerging Nigerian artist to achieve a remarkable feat: selling out the illustrious O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom, with its capacity of 20,000.
Amidst a sea of roaring fans, the acclaimed artist, famous for his hit “Mr Money,” created an unforgettable moment as he descended upon the stage in a helicopter, igniting a frenzy of excitement.

Asake’s electrifying performance spanned across a medley of tracks from his debut album, ‘Mr Money With The Vibe,’ as well as his sophomore masterpiece, ‘Work Of Art.’ Collaborating with his YBNL label mate, Fireboy DML, as well as Lil Kesh and a slew of other talented artists, the event proved to be an extravaganza of music.
Asake joins the ranks of Nigerian music titans like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, who have also managed to sell out the renowned O2 Arena.
Rema is also set to headline a concert at the prestigious arena later this year.
