Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has been nominated for the 2025 Brit Awards in the Best International Act category.

This recognition follows a remarkable 2024, during which Asake released his critically acclaimed third album, Lungu Boy..

The album, which featured collaborations with Wixkid, Stormzy, Central Cee, and Ludmila, solidified his position as one of Nigeria’s most dynamic music exports.

Known for his infectious beats and meaningful lyrics, Asake has garnered a global fanbase, making his nomination a significant milestone for both his career and the African music scene.

This marks Asake’s second Brit Awards nomination, as he was also in the running for the same category in 2024. He is the sole Nigerian artist nominated for the 2025 awards, a testament to his growing international appeal.

However, Asake faces stiff competition in the category, going up against global heavyweights like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Benson Boone.

The Brit Awards ceremony, hosted by Jack Whitehall, is scheduled for March 1, 2025, at the iconic O2 Arena in London. Fans and industry observers alike are excited to see if Asake can clinch the coveted award, further solidifying Nigeria’s influence on the global music stage.
