Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake delivered an unforgettable performance on Wednesday night as he headlined Flytime Fest 2025, thrilling thousands of fans at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos, on Christmas Eve.
The sold-out concert, which marked Asake’s first major Lagos show in two years, attracted an estimated 20,000 attendees. The singer thrilled the crowd with a high-energy set featuring hit songs such as Joha, Dupe, Nzaza and Remember, alongside unreleased tracks from his forthcoming album, M$NEY, which drew loud reactions from fans.
The atmosphere reached fever pitch as Asake welcomed a lineup of surprise guests to the stage. His longtime mentor, Olamide, joined him for an explosive back-to-back performance that highlighted their musical chemistry and shared roots. Street-pop star Zlatan Ibile energised the audience with a lively rendition of Bust Down, while Fuji legend King Saheed Osupa added a cultural touch by blending traditional sounds with modern rhythms.
The performances were elevated by dramatic pyrotechnics and a live orchestra, creating a grand spectacle that kept the audience on its feet throughout the night. Fresh from a successful international tour, Asake’s Lagos homecoming further cemented his status as one of Afrobeats’ most electrifying live performers.
The night stood out as a major highlight of Flytime Fest 2025 and set the tone for the festival’s grand finale headlined by Davido. As Lagos continued to pulse with festive energy, Asake’s performance emerged as one of the defining moments of this year’s Detty December celebrations.
