Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake is under fire after an incident in France where he reportedly smashed a fan’s phone.
According to the fan, who took to social media to share his account, the altercation occurred after a performance when he attempted to take a picture with the artist. Despite his persistence, Asake, seemingly in a foul mood, ignored the fan’s requests.

The fan posted a video of the incident along with images of the damaged phone, expressing his disappointment in a heartfelt message. He wrote, “You broke my iPhone 16 Pro Max. It’s not because they pissed you off inside the nightclub that you’re going to react like that towards a fan. Anyway, I still love you.”
