Some fans online are disappointed that singer Asake has only come to the attention of most British media now for a tragic news story, rather than earlier on for his talent.
Back in September tickets for the Nigerian star’s London concert sold out in five minutes flat, but a crush on the night of the show has left four people in critical condition and the mayor says an urgent investigation is underway.
“My heart is with those who were injured last night…I pray you get well soonest”, the afrobeats star posted on his Instagram account on Friday, adding that he was attempting to reach out to all the individuals involved in the crush.
There had been huge anticipation for his UK dates, however there were boos and many complaints at his Birmingham show that the artist had left fans waiting for hours before he came on stage.
At the time there had been some concern that the crowds at his shows weren’t being managed properly which could have resulted in injuries.
Fans in Manchester for the 10 December concert were also discouraged from turning up to the venue without tickets in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the scenes at Birmingham.
Investigations into what happened at the London show are ongoing.
