Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has set the internet buzzing after a private moment between him and Grammy-winning superstar Wizkid leaked from their joint performance in the United States.

What was supposed to be a simple stage hug has now evolved into one of the most heated Afrobeats debates of the week.

The YBNL alumnus, who was recently dragged, headlined the Red Bull Symphonic concert at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, on November 8, 2025.

The show made history as Asake became the first African act to headline the classical-orchestra series in the US.

But it was what happened after the music that stole the spotlight.

During the orchestral rendition of “MMS,” fans erupted as Wizkid unexpectedly walked onto the stage. With his signature calmness, the “Essence” hitmaker delivered his verse effortlessly, sending the hall into a frenzy.

As the crowd roared, Asake wrapped Wizkid in a tight hug. Moments later, he leaned in and whispered into Wizkid’s ear:

“You are the best.”

Shortly after the video surfaced, the comment sections on X, Instagram, and TikTok transformed into debate arenas.
