Asake Breaks Billboard Record, Surpasses Burna Boy with 50 Afrobeats Chart Entries
Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, better known by his stage name Asake, has now set a new record on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, surpassing Burna Boy in the process.
With the release of his latest album, *Lungu Boy*, Asake managed to debut nine songs on this week’s chart, bringing his total number of chart entries to an impressive 50.
Among his current hits, the track *Active*, a collaboration with popular American rapper Travis Scott, has claimed the number-one spot on the chart.
This achievement further highlights Asake’s growing influence in the global music scene, particularly in the Afrobeats genre, where Nigerian artists have been making significant waves.
The Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, which was introduced in April 2022, tracks the most popular Afrobeats songs in the United States.
Since its inception, the chart has been consistently dominated by Nigerian artists, underscoring the increasing global reach and appeal of Afrobeat music.
Asake’s latest feat adds another milestone to the genre’s journey, as he continues to break records and push the boundaries of African music on the international stage.
Nigerian reality star and actor Adeoluwa Okusaga, also known as Saga, shares that kissing scenes on screen are not something actors actually enjoy.
The actor shared in a recent interview that kissing is usually scripted and often has no real emotion attached to it.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set.”
