Asake at Ooni of Ife's palace in 2018
It was, however, not the first time the former YBNL signee would be visiting the palace. In 2018, Asake, who was unknown at the time, had visited the Ooni alongside content creators Broda Shaggi and Yemi Elesho, or Broda Nuru.
A clip showed Asake being playful as he sat on the floor near the Ooni. Another video showed the YBNL star bursting some balloons.
Recall that he rose to the spotlight in 2022 after YBNL boss Olamide signed him to his label. Within months, he went on to perform on international stages, including selling out the prestigious O2 Arena.
After his rise to fame, Asake returned to Ile Ife, this time as a superstar, whom many, including the Ooni, were proud to call a son.
