Asake is the only Nigerian artist nominated in this year’s Brit Awards. This is his second nomination, having received one in 2024.
His rise to this point has been fueled by a series of hit releases and collaborations that have resonated with audiences around the world. With his blend of infectious beats and heartfelt lyrics, Asake has earned both a devoted fanbase and widespread attention.
Asake’s nomination marks a significant achievement, not just for him but for the African music scene, which continues to capture global attention and respect.
The serial chart-topper will face stiff competition in the category, including worldwide superstars Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Benson Boone.
Jack Whitehall has been announced as the host of the award ceremony, which will be held on March 1, 2025, at London’s historic O2 Arena.

In a previous report, Asake unfollowed his music executive Olamide and others on his Instagram page, surprising fans.
The Grammy-nominated musician made social media headlines after discovering that he had cleared his Instagram page of traces of his YBNL record label.
The Lonely At The Top crooner unfollowed everybody he previously followed, including his record label boss, Olamide. Asake’s Instagram bio also no longer reflected that he was a YBNL artist. Instead, it had the words “creative director” written in its place.
