Nigerian artist Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake, has earned a nomination for Best International Act at the 2025 Brit Awards. This recognition comes after a standout year for the singer, highlighted by the release of his highly anticipated third album, Lungu Boy. The album features exciting collaborations with some of the biggest names in music, including Wizkid, Stormzy, Central Cee, and Ludmila.
Asake is the only Nigerian artist nominated for this year’s Brit Awards, making it his second consecutive nomination, as he was also nominated in 2024. His rise to global fame has been driven by his infectious beats, powerful lyrics, and an ever-growing fanbase. His nomination is seen as a significant achievement, not just for Asake, but for the African music scene as a whole, which continues to gain global recognition.
However, Asake faces stiff competition for the award, with music giants like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Benson Boone also nominated in the same category. The 2025 Brit Awards will be hosted by Jack Whitehall and take place on March 1, 2025, at London’s renowned O2 Arena.
