Nigerian artist Ahmed Olorade, better known by his stage name Asake, has come under criticism after ticket prices for his homecoming concert in Lagos were announced to be £300,000.
According to Naija News, the ticket prices circulating online sparked a strong reaction from fans who believed the tickets were too high for the local event.
Many social media users expressed frustration, saying the fees made it difficult for casual fans to attend.
Concert organizers explained that pricing reflects production and service costs, noting that VIP tickets include additional benefits.
Despite this explanation, critics argue that the pricing strategy excludes fans who have supported Asagi from the beginning of his career.
Some fan groups have even suggested boycotting the event unless more affordable ticket options are made available.
Read the reactions below:
@Kruz Nation: “Asak and his team must think Nigerians are ATMs. In this economy, a concert costs N300,000? It shows that they value the fans who push his songs into the charts differently. Pure disrespect.”
@Lara Flame: “These organizers are out of touch with reality. They want to suck the energy out of people and call it a show. Asak should be ashamed because his homecoming event is turning into a rich man’s parade.”
@Dami Ice: “So Asake is now too big for the people who built him? Charging N300k it’s like he’s performing in heaven. Then let him perform to empty seats. We’re not begging.”
@Sparrow
@Nora Blaze: “The organizers clearly don’t care about the fans. They just want a quick buck. Asake allowing this nonsense shows that he also enjoys greed. Evil behavior.”
@Jaycee Tope: “This is not the price of the concert; this is punishment. They should go ahead with their show and keep it. Asake is becoming the industry snob he once claimed he was not.”
@Rexy Lomo: b “If Asake only wants millionaires to attend his show, he should just say so. This ridiculous price is an insult to ordinary Nigerians. They are ripping off the fans because they think we have no choice.”
