Nigerian music star Asake found himself in an awkward situation during his ongoing In God We Trust Tour when a group of ladies stormed his stage and repeatedly tried to touch him in ways that made him visibly uncomfortable. The incident occurred on Saturday, 5 September 2026, at the Houston Toyota Center in the United States, and a video shared on Instagram the same day quickly went viral.
Asake's Reaction to Ladies Dancing With Him
Rather than engaging with the ladies, the music star kept his distance throughout the interaction. At one point, the women attempted to grab a part of his body he clearly was not comfortable with, and his response was instant. Asake stepped away, let them dance on their own, and continued his set with a smile on his face, seemingly unbothered by the commotion.
The clip, which shows the ladies dancing around the singer and repeatedly trying to touch him, has sparked a wave of reactions online. Many fans praised the singer for how he handled the situation, while others raised concerns about the boundaries being crossed on stage.
