On Friday, Nigerian music star Asake headlined the Beer With Us festival alongside Ghanaian breakout stars Black Sherrif’ and Seyi Vibez at the Landmark Leisure beach in Oniru, Lagos.
The event was a party mix of beer and music which manifested into a raving party with Afrobeats sounds.
Asake, who has been the rave of the moment since early 2022, did not disappoint his fans as he came with his bangers giving an incredible back-to-back performance with hit songs including Palazzo, Sungba, Mr Money with the vibe, Terminator, Peace be unto you and Joha, amongst others.
Black Sherif also came with his style; the 21-year-old Ghanaian star who gained recognition for ‘First Sermon’ and ‘Second Sermon’ went with the mystical story of “Kwaku the Traveler ”.
He got the crowd to scream out their lungs on the refrain, “of course I fucked up, who never fuck up hands in the air,” and performed a host of songs electrifying the ‘Beer With Us’ stage.
