Afrobeats sensation Asake just delivered another headline-grabbing performance but this time, not on stage, but in the world of luxury fashion. The chart-topping artist orchestrated a $500,000 (₦775 million) symphony of sparkle, commissioning a fully customized diamond chain from a renowned U.S. jeweler. Taking center stage in this dazzling piece is a skating soldier pendant, crafted with precision and style that echoes Asake’s bold musical energy.
From the first beat of the news breaking earlier this week, fans have been buzzing like a chorus in full harmony. Asake unveiled the chain’s debut on his social media feed, where it instantly drew applause from stylists, influencers, and music lovers across the globe.
Collaborating with one of America’s top celebrity jewelers whose clientele spans elite artists and athletes Asake took creative control. He didn’t just improvise; he composed every detail. From the soldier’s mid-skate motion to the hundreds of handset diamonds, this chain hits every note of opulence.
The chain was reportedly hand-crafted with hundreds of diamonds and customized down to the smallest detail, including a soldier mid-skate pose. Sources suggest it took several weeks to complete.
But the symbolism goes deeper than the bling. Just like a powerful solo in a live set, the skating soldier represents Asake’s hustle, movement, and balance in the ever-evolving music industry. It’s a visual metaphor for staying in motion and gliding through challenges and performing under pressure.
Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, has long used fashion and jewelry as an extension of his artistry. This latest acquisition is no exception. While some artists make noise, Asake continues to make statements both visually and sonically.
With this icy new piece in his collection, he doesn’t just shine but he leads the tempo in style and swagger. Asake’s chain isn’t just an accessory it’s an anthem.
