Wizkid Surprises Asake at Red Bull Symphonic
Wizkid surprised Asake as he became the latest star to headline and perform at the Red Bull Symphonic, bringing the event to a sold‑out crowd at the Brooklyn Kings Theatre in New York City. He followed U.S. headliners Rick Ross (Atlanta, 2022) and Metro Boomin (Los Angeles, 2023), marking another big moment for Afrobeats on the international stage.
Mid‑show, the audience erupted when Afrobeats legend Wizkid walked on stage without warning. Together with Asake and a full orchestra, they performed the 2024 hit “MMS,” and Asake also debuted a new track, sending social‑media feeds into a frenzy.
The surprise appearance was more than a hype boost; it symbolized a passing of the torch within the genre. With Wizkid standing beside one of Afrobeats’ rising kings, the night highlighted the music’s growing unity and its bright future worldwide.
