Asake, the talented musician, has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first Afrobeat artist to gain a significant following on Instagram. This achievement sparked a wave of celebration on various social media platforms, where fans and enthusiasts lauded his success.
Some fans even went as far as to suggest that Asake might now surpass Wizkid in terms of popularity, crowning him as the biggest artist in Nigeria.
Moreover, the recognition he received extended beyond social media. In July of 2023, Asake’s talent and hard work were acknowledged when he received a nomination for the prestigious Headies award. Fast forward to September, and he managed to secure several of the awards he was nominated for, including the coveted title of Best New Artist.
On a related note, DJ Cuppy, had just last month, expressed her deep desire to become Asake’s full-time backup singer. This declaration was made through a heartfelt social media post in which she shared a photograph of herself with Asake. In her message to fans and followers, she conveyed her sheer excitement and admiration for Asake, emphasizing that it had always been her dream to work as his backup singer. Although her post was lighthearted in tone, it undeniably highlighted her genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity to collaborate with this talented artist.
