The two artists shared a warm embrace and exchanged pleasantries, a gesture that delighted fans worldwide.
On June 23, 2026, several global music and entertainment stars gathered for the highly anticipated Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 (SS27) show, hosted by Pharrell Williams in his role as Men’s Creative Director of Louis Vuitton.
The star-studded event featured appearances from Wizkid, Asake, Lil Baby, Skepta, Future, Quavo, and other international celebrities.
One of the standout highlights was the friendly exchange between Asake and Wizkid. In the video making the rounds online, Asake, popularly known as the “Forgiveness” crooner, was seen visibly thrilled to meet Wizkid. Fans have since praised the moment as a reflection of genuine friendship and mutual respect between two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports.
The bond between the duo has been evident over the years. Since Asake’s rise under YBNL, he and Wizkid have collaborated on several projects, including a joint EP released earlier this year that enjoyed massive success.
Both artists also spend significant time in the United States, further strengthening their relationship beyond music.
See the video below:
Legt.ng earlier reported that Asake reacted to rumours of a feud between him and his former record label boss, Olamide Adedeji, aka Olamide.
A few years ago, Asake left his record label, Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL), and eventually relocated abroad.
Before he left Nigeria, rumours spread that he and Olamide were no longer on good terms. Fans expected Olamide to attend Asake’s shows abroad, but he never did.
In a video interview conducted in Yoruba, Asake spoke about the relationship he shared with his former boss.

According to him,
“Till the end of time, my ex-boss will forever remain Baddo.”
He added that he respects Olamide greatly and that even if he became the President of America, it would not change the kind of relationship he shares with Baddo.
"Relationships between artists are often symbiotic": PR executive
PR executive AKSTREETZ in a chat with Legit.ng spoke on why fans often view relationships between artists as symbolic of unity or rivalry
“The fact that these individuals are stars automatically makes them idols to their core listeners and fans. As a result, fans often become emotionally invested in and protective of the people their favourite artists associate with or become involved with.
“Similarly, relationships between artists are often symbiotic, as both talents can benefit from collaborating with or supporting each other. On the other hand, if a relationship becomes one-sided or exploitative, it will naturally raise concerns among an artist's fan base. Fans may feel the need to protect their favourite artist's status and reputation, whether online or offline.”

Reactions trail Olamide's comments about insecurity
Legit.ng earlier reported that Olamide joined his colleagues in reacting to the growing insecurity in Nigeria following the viral video of the CAC church attack in Kwara state.
He warned that what happened both in Kebbi and Kwara states should not become the norm, while offering his condolences to the families affected by the attack. However, many were not impressed by the post. They criticised the singer, with some pointing out that he was among those who endorsed the APC.
