The star-studded event featured appearances from Wizkid, Asake, Lil Baby, Skepta, Future, Quavo, and other international celebrities.

One of the standout highlights was the friendly exchange between Asake and Wizkid. In the video making the rounds online, Asake, popularly known as the “Forgiveness” crooner, was seen visibly thrilled to meet Wizkid. Fans have since praised the moment as a reflection of genuine friendship and mutual respect between two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports.

The bond between the duo has been evident over the years. Since Asake’s rise under YBNL, he and Wizkid have collaborated on several projects, including a joint EP released earlier this year that enjoyed massive success.

Both artists also spend significant time in the United States, further strengthening their relationship beyond music.

Legt.ng earlier reported that Asake reacted to rumours of a feud between him and his former record label boss, Olamide Adedeji, aka Olamide.

A few years ago, Asake left his record label, Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL), and eventually relocated abroad.

Before he left Nigeria, rumours spread that he and Olamide were no longer on good terms. Fans expected Olamide to attend Asake’s shows abroad, but he never did.

In a video interview conducted in Yoruba, Asake spoke about the relationship he shared with his former boss.

According to him,

“Till the end of time, my ex-boss will forever remain Baddo.”

He added that he respects Olamide greatly and that even if he became the President of America, it would not change the kind of relationship he shares with Baddo.

Reactions trail Olamide's comments about insecurity

Legit.ng earlier reported that Olamide joined his colleagues in reacting to the growing insecurity in Nigeria following the viral video of the CAC church attack in Kwara state.

He warned that what happened both in Kebbi and Kwara states should not become the norm, while offering his condolences to the families affected by the attack. However, many were not impressed by the post. They criticised the singer, with some pointing out that he was among those who endorsed the APC.
