The YBNL star has been on top of his game since he rose to prominence in the Nigerian music industry a few years ago; he sold out the 20,000-capacity 02 Arena twice in one year as his songs from his two previous albums and his newly released third studio album have received high replay value.
Prior to the recent kind gesture from Paul Pogba, the former World Footballer of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen listening to Asake’s music, “Active,” featuring American rapper Travis Scott.
However, in the new video, Paul Pogba was seen on a live session with Ishowspeed, where the streamer asked the footballer’s current favourite song so that he may play it.
Pogba immediately requested for Asake’s song “Worldwide”, which is also off the “Lungu Boy” album.
The streamer then played the music, and Pogba asked if he had heard it previously, to which he replied “No”.
As they were listening to the music, Ishowspeed, who was already enjoying it, asked Paul Pogba if the singer was French, and Pogba replied that Asake is from Nigeria.
Reports have it that Aske’s song was used as the outro on the live stream.
