Adding to the night’s impact were surprise guest appearances from global stars including Wizkid and Gunna, further highlighting the international reach of Asake’s sound and influence. With the official release of “Worship,” Asake transforms a standout live moment into a widely accessible record, giving fans a song that not only captures the energy of his symphonic debut but also reinforces his position as one of Afrobeats’ most innovative voices.
With the official release of “Worship,” Asake transforms a standout live debut into a global offering, one that not only captures the energy of that symphonic experience but also reflects the genre’s continued growth on the world stage.
