Nigerian singer Asake has received backlash from social media users for allegedly trampling on an enthusiastic fan's iPhone 16 Pro Max, smashing it in the process.

It all started on September 29, 2024, when a fan named Adeoti uploaded a video to TikTok depicting his attempt to grab a photo with the star. 

In the video, Asake pushed the phone to the ground and stamped on it, causing substantial damage.

"@asakemusic You broke my iPhone 16 pro-Max it's not because they pissed off inside the nightclub that you are going to react like that towards a fan. Anyway, I still love you," Adeoti wrote.

The video quickly went viral and generated outrage on social media, with many criticizing Asake for shattering the fan's smartphone. 

Commenters ranged from disappointed to outraged, with some claiming that the incident mirrored a larger issue about how celebrities treat their fans. 

However, in a second post, Adeoti stated that he remained Asake's fan and still loves him, which elicited emotions from others.

An Instagram user slammed the singer, saying, "A gutter behaviour. Person u suppose deck bro to bro," and another outraged fan asked, "Would he do that if thay that fan was a white boy? No! Black man and power show on their fellow blacks is never ending."

The singer's third gig at the O2 Academy Brixton in 2022 was canceled after a big group of fans attempted to force their way in, according to police.

A crowd stampede at Nigerian musician Asake's concert on Thursday (Dec. 16) night at London's O2 Academy Brixton injured several individuals, including four who were brought to the hospital with critical injuries.

The Metropolitan Police Department also began an immediate inquiry into the incident, which occurred after a big crowd gathered outside the club and allegedly attempted to force their way in.
