The Evening Standard published a piece about Asake, a Nigerian singer-songwriter who quickly sold out the O2 Brixton Academy. Background information about Asake, his music, label, and popularity is provided in the article. It also refers to the sad event that happened on December 16, 2022, when there was a crush of people outside the arena, leaving four persons critically injured and eight hospitalized. Asake had to call the event early and took to Instagram to share his condolences for the injured fans.
“Speaking to Rolling Stone he said: “I’ve been relaxing and trying to know how to live here... It’s like coming here for another energy entirely. I only go out to make money. My outdoors is when I am at my balcony. I like to see outside, not go outside.” Asake is one of the most iconic afrobeat artist to grace the surface of the earth. Furthermore, both stadiums that he sold out were O2 in Brixton, which is located in England, and MSG Madison Square Garden, which is located in NY.
