Nigerian superstar, Asake stunned fans at Afro Future 2025, but it’s his striking new look that has ignited debate online.
Nigerian music star Ololade Ahmed, popularly known as Asake or Mr Money, set the stage ablaze at the Afro Future 2025 concert in Detroit on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
While his electrifying performance thrilled fans, it was his striking new appearance that has taken over social media.
Videos and photos from the event show Asake sporting a short, wavy wig dyed a vibrant blue, a stark departure from his previous signature looks, which included buzz cuts and blonde hairstyles. Fans have long celebrated his hair transformations as symbols of his evolving artistry, but the latest look has sparked an even more intense and mixed reaction online.
Many Nigerians were quick to draw comparisons between Asake’s blue hair and the wig famously worn by Chioma, wife of fellow music star Davido, at their Miami wedding. The resemblance has inspired humorous memes, playful banter, and speculation about potential collaborations or rivalries, keeping the conversation alive across social platforms.
Yet amid the humor, some fans have expressed concern for Asake’s mental health, citing his frequent and dramatic changes in appearance alongside his recent split from YBNL Records. For many, these public transformations are interpreted as possible signs of personal or emotional challenges, highlighting the deep connection fans feel to their favorite artists.
