The Return of Mr. Money: Asake Shuts Down Lagos with Wizkid, Olamide, and Fuji Legend Pasuma
Two years is a long time in the fast-paced world of Afrobeats, but on December 24, 2025, Asake proved that his connection with Lagos is unshakable. Headlining Day 3 of Flytime Fest, the YBNL superstar delivered a high-octane, sold-out show that blended raw street energy with world-class production.
A Star-Studded Christmas Miracle
Asake didn’t come alone. In a series of “jaw-dropping” moments that kept thousands of phones in the air, he brought out a lineup of heavyweights that felt like a celebration of Nigerian music history:
- The Mentorship: Olamide (Baddo) joined his protégé on stage, a poignant moment for fans who have watched their partnership redefine the genre.
- The Big Wiz: In the night’s biggest shock, Wizkid made a surprise appearance, sending the Eko Convention Centre into a frenzy.
- The Fuji Fusion: Paying homage to his roots, Asake performed alongside Fuji icon Pasuma (Oganla) and the legendary Osupa Saheed, bridging the gap between traditional sounds and modern hits.
- Street Cred: Zlatan Ibile also graced the stage, adding his signature “Zanku” energy to the mix.
The Setlist: From “Spiritual” to “Active”
The performance was a journey through Asake’s meteoric rise. He moved seamlessly from the soulful, atmospheric vibes of “Nzaza” and “Ototo” to the high-energy anthems that have dominated global charts. Fans were treated to:
- “Amapiano” and “Organise”
- The fan-favorite “MMS” (his collaboration with Wizkid)
- “Bust Down” and the high-energy “Active”
- The Tease: Asake also gave fans a glimpse into his 2026 plans, performing “Worship” from his highly anticipated upcoming album, M$NEY.
Lagos is “Active” Again
Under a sea of phone lights and deafening cheers, Asake closed the night by thanking the city that made him. After months of touring stadiums in Europe and North America, his Christmas Eve homecoming served as a powerful reminder: no matter how far Mr. Money travels, there is no crowd quite like Lagos.
