Asake gives a fan his shirt

Legit. ng had earlier reported that Asake was performing at a show, and a lady who loved the singer got up to vibe to his song.

She sang the lyrics of the music word for word and imitated Asake's dance steps. Asake was so pleased with the kind of love the lady had shown him that he had to remove his shirt and give it to her.
