Nigerian recording artiste, Asake has tendered an apology for coming late for a concert in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
The multi-talented recording artiste was scheduled to perform at The Forum, Birmingham in a sold-out show which is part of his “Mr. Money With The Vibes” UK tour on Saturday, December 3.
Despite being one of the most talked about artiste in 2022, Asake arrived hours late as he didn’t show up at the event until 11 PM. Asake was met with boos from a section of the fans who were unhappy about the way the organizers went about the show.

Here is what social media users had to say.

I really want to emphasise how bad the stampedes were at the asake Birmingham concert though. Crowd control was a myth, people could have been seriously injured. There was several stampedes going in and some going out too, people fainting on stairs https://t.co/O4myW4KQiO

Hours after the negative comments from social media users, Asake appeared to take a defiant position first posting a picture of himself flashing a big smile while displaying 100 dollar notes.
He then followed up this post with a screenshot of Ebenezer Obey‘s famous song ‘The Horse, The Man, and The Son‘ which is a song that basically talks about how one can never please the world.

Asake has however backtracked as he apologized to Birmingham fans for coming late through his Twitter account.
“Birmingham I’m sorry for the delay yesterday.
The promoters delayed my pick-up time for reasons best known to them, But I’m super grateful for your patience and understanding,” the tweet reads.
