Since rising to prominence in the Nigerian music industry a few years ago, YBNL star Asake has been at the top of his game. He sold out the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena twice in one year, with songs from his first two albums—and his newly released third album—enjoying high replay value.
Prior to the recent kind gesture from Paul Pogba, the former World Footballer of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo was also seen listening to Asake's music, "Active," featuring American rapper Travis Scott.

Pogba immediately requested for Asake's song "Worldwide", which is off the "Lungu Boy" album.
The streamer then played the music, and Pogba asked if he had heard it previously, to which he replied "No".
As they were listening to the music, Ishowspeed, who was already enjoying it, asked Paul Pogba if the singer was French, and Pogba replied that Asake is from Nigeria.
