Rising Nigerian music star, Asake, has emerged as one of the biggest winners at the 24th edition of the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, beating out top contenders like Burna Boy, Kizz Daniel, Arya Star, Libianca, and The Therapist to clinch the coveted Best African Artiste of the Year award.
The award show, which took place on May 7th, 2023, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Center (AICC), was a star-studded event that brought together some of the biggest names in African music.

His breakout single, ‘Sungba,’ became an instant hit, propelling him to fame and earning him a legion of fans across Africa and beyond.
Asake’s debut album, ‘Mr. Money with the Vibe,’ which he released in 2022, was also a resounding success, dominating music charts in Nigeria, Ghana, and other countries. The album features several hit tracks, including ‘Don’t Hesitate,’ ‘Money Anthem,’ and ‘Lady in the Glass Dress.’
