Nigerian singer Asake has added a new Maybach to his luxury car collection, with the purchase confirmed on Instagram by both the artist and a Lagos luxury car dealer. The acquisition comes as Asake continues his 'In God We Trust' world tour, which supports his fourth studio album, M$ney.
Purchase Confirmed on Instagram
Lagos-based luxury dealership Polanco Exotic Cars shared a post celebrating the sale, referring to the buyer under the alias 'Mr X.' Asake separately posted about the new car on his own page and Instagram story. Neither party has disclosed the exact model or price of the vehicle. However, social media speculation, including a post by user D3VID, suggested the car is a 2026 Mercedes-Benz Maybach SL 680 Monogram worth 1 billion naira.
Maybach vehicles, Mercedes-Benz's ultra-luxury sub-brand, typically retail well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on trim and customisation, meaning the naira value of the purchase likely runs into the hundreds of millions.
Polanco Exotic Cars and Celebrity Clientele
Polanco Exotic Cars, based in Lekki, has built a reputation as one of Nigeria's go-to dealerships for celebrity car purchases. Past clients reportedly include Wizkid, Burna Boy, Kizz Daniel, Victor Osimhen, and Rema. This is not Asake's first Maybach; the singer has previously been linked to a Maybach GLS 600, alongside other high-end vehicles including a Brabus G800 and Mercedes-AMG G63 models, as part of a car collection that has grown alongside his music career.
Asake's 'In God We Trust' World Tour
The new purchase comes as Asake is in the middle of his 'In God We Trust' world tour, a 13-date run in support of M$ney, released in May. The tour opened with a headline set at Afro Nation in Portimão, Portugal, on July 4, and is scheduled to move through North America, beginning August 20 in Chicago, before wrapping at the Accor Arena in Paris. The album has performed strongly commercially since its release, and the tour marks Asake's continued push into international markets following a run of sold-out shows in previous years, including a Madison Square Garden performance in 2024.
Social Media Reaction and Career Milestones
Neither Asake nor Polanco has provided further details on the new Maybach, including whether it was acquired specifically to mark a career milestone or simply as a personal purchase. As with previous vehicle reveals, the post has drawn attention on social media, with fans and commentators speculating about the car's cost in the comments section. The singer, born Ahmed Ololade Asake, has increasingly used car purchases as visible markers of his commercial success, a pattern common among top-tier Nigerian entertainers whose luxury acquisitions often become talking points in entertainment media independent of formal announcements.
