“Are You Michael Jackson?” Naijashimadun Drags Asake Over Costly Lagos Show Ticket Fee, Video Trends

• The ticket fee for Asake's homecoming concert in Lagos has ignited uproar on social media, with Nigerians lamenting the high cost
• Social media commentator Naijashimadun reacted to the expensive ticket fee and directed a message at the former YBNL star
• He also queried the organisers in a video that went viral on social media, further fuelling online reactions

Naijashimadun joined other Nigerian netizens in criticising the N300,000 ticket fee for Afrobeats star Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, ahead of his much-anticipated homecoming concert in Lagos.

Speaking in the Yoruba language, Naijashimadun expressed his displeasure, questioning why Nigerians were being asked to pay such an exorbitant fee just to see Asake.

He alleged that the ticket to see the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, when he was alive, was not even up to N10,000.

The social media commentator advised Asake to call the organisers to order, warning that he would be the one Nigerians would blame.

"How much did we use to see Michael Jackson when he was alive? It’s not up to 10,000. Even seeing Tinubu is not that expensive. Nigerians can't pay N300,000 to come see Ahmed (Asake). We own Afrobeats; you can't sell it at an expensive price to us. We own Ahmed. They can't sell him to us for N300,000," Naijashimadun said in the video.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that Asake caused a buzz after he showed a new low-cut hairstyle in a picture he shared online.

Asake, on Friday, September 26, returned online, sharing a Snapchat video filmed from the driver's seat of a luxury car in Lagos.

The former YBNL act also took to his official Instagram page to share a picture of his new look while rocking a white shirt, tie, and black trousers.
