Asake selling out the O2 Arena in his second breakthrough year is a big achievement for Afrobeats
Solomun Lang, who applauded Asake for selling out the prestigious O2 Arena, said it was not right to rate him alongside the likes of Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid, who paced the way and had to endure a lot in the industry.
He, however, stressed that Asake has achieved what has never been seen before in the history of Afrobeats.
"Lil Kesh had a similar run and was the first young artist with the hopes of international stardom, but sadly that never went past Nigeria. Naira Marley came and also broke through to the UK with the help of him being in the UK music scene before switching to Afrobeats. But with Asake, it’s like he was destined for this moment. To see an artist sell out the o2 in their second breakthrough year is an extremely big achievement for Afrobeats, and it is even bigger when you put the perspective of his lyrics being mostly Yoruba. I am even pretty sure he is the first Afrobeats artist to fully sell out the O2( using the full 20k capacity), although that may need to be verified against Davido’s 2019 O2 concert. Asake’s rise to fame is something of Nigerian folklore, something many would’ve never seen coming," Solomun Lang said.
Asake sets record with O2 Arena show
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Asake trended online across all social media platforms in the Nigerian space over his UK show.
The Amapiano crooner set a new record as the sixth Nigerian artist to sell out the 02 Arena.
Also, his 'Asake Live at 02 Arena' show made history in terms of streaming, hitting over 100k streamers.
