Grammy-nominated star Asake has been announced as one of the headliners for the Yardland Festival in France.

The Nigerian hitmaker will be headlining the festival in the company of other global stars, including American rapper Latto and Belgian rapper Hamza.

Other stars billed to perform at the festival include French hitmaker Tiakola and Swazi DJ & Producer Uncle Waffles.

Asake’s 2025 is off to an eventful start, as the singer has been showcasing his new face tattoos and daring fashion.

Following his outing at the 67th Grammys, Asake released the surprise freestyle ‘Military’ where he announces that he’s in an era of doing whatever he wishes.

The hitmaker recently teased a new song on his TikTok page days after he was pictured hanging out with Eva Apio at the MarineSerre in Paris. The duo were also captured partying together in a Paris nightclub as dating rumours continue to swell.

Asake’s latest teaser suggests the award-winning star might be gearing up for the release of his second single of 2025 following ‘Why Love’.

‘Why Love’ is his first release in 2025 and his first since parting ways with his former label YBNL.

Amid the ongoing scandal regarding content creator Oluwadolarz and ex-fiance Ifeluv’s split, Omolola Fanimokun, the alleged side chick, has now spoken up.

Taking to social media on March 12, 2024, Lola refuted the allegations, expressing her disappointment over what she described as ‘baseless accusations’. She maintained her innocence and clarified the circumstances surrounding her associations with the skitmaker.

First things first, I like to think I’m a very great actress (if I do say so myself) so I don’t have to sleep around for roles, my talent literally speaks for itself.

Clearing the air on Ifeluv’s allegations of catching her in Oluwadolaz’s bathroom, she stressed that she was in another bathroom entirely cleaning up after a videoshoot.
