Singer Asake's lookalike

A Nigerian man who has a striking resemblance with popular singer, Asake, has lamented bitterly after he was mistaken for the Afrobeat musician in Abuja.

A video clip making rounds online shows the yet-to-be identified man, who  dressed like the ‘Sungba’ crooner, hiding out in his friend’s car after some fans spotted him and thought he was Asake.

In the video, some men, presumed to be fans of the ‘Joha’ singer, were gathered around the car and refused to let them leave without dropping something (money) for them.

Asake’s doppelganger, who was fed up of the attention he was receiving, complained that he has spent a lot of money on tips since he stepped out dressed like Asake.


“Even the real Asake no go spend the kind money wey I don spend today
, he said, while his friend who was more concerned about his car, said he hopes the mob doesn’t damage his car or break his windscreen.

A while back, a video shared online shows the moment popular Afrobeat singer. Asake, absconded from stage after a concert-goer allegedly stole the gun of his security guard in Baltimore, US on Sunday night.

Reports have it that the ‘Sungba’ crooner arrived 3-hours late for the concert and only performed for 10 minutes when one of his security guard’s gun suddenly went missing.

In the now-viral video circulating on social media, the singer is seen running off the stage followed by a troop of bouncers as fans who paid to see him perform thronged the stage. Watch here
