Nigerian Singer Asake Faces Backlash After Purportedly Smashing Fan’s iPhone 16 Pro Max

Nigerian music sensation, Asake, has sparked outrage on social media after a video surfaced showing him snatching and allegedly smashing a fan’s iPhone 16 Pro Max in Germany.
The incident occurred during Asake’s recent concert in Germany, where an enthusiastic fan, Adeoti, attempted to take a photo with the singer. However, Asake reacted angrily, grabbing the phone and smashing it on the floor.
Adeoti shared the disturbing footage on social media, captioning it: “@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.”
The video quickly went viral, drawing widespread condemnation from social media users who slammed Asake’s behavior as “unnecessarily aggressive” and “rude.”
Some of the comments read:
