Asake Slammed for Smashing Fan’s iPhone 16 Pro Max at German Concert
Nigerian artist Asake is under fire following an incident at a concert in Germany where he smashed a fan’s iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The event, which was captured on video and shared on social media, shows the singer forcefully snatching the phone from a fan before throwing it to the ground, causing severe damage.
The fan, identified as Adeoti, posted the video online, explaining that the moment unfolded when he attempted to take a picture with Asake.
In his caption, Adeoti expressed disappointment but maintained his admiration for the artist, writing, “@asakemusic You broke my iPhone 16 Pro Max. It’s not cool to react like that to a fan just because of whatever happened inside the club. But regardless, I still love you.”
The video has since gone viral, igniting widespread criticism of Asake’s actions. Fans and social media users have taken to various platforms to express their frustration and anger.
Some condemned the artist for overreacting, while others warned fans to stop idolizing celebrities.
One user, @CuriousCourtnie, commented, “That was unnecessarily aggressive.” Another, @Tony_runthings, added, “Stop trying to be close to these celebrities; it’s not worth it.”
Meanwhile, @joseph_adegoke said, “He will have to replace it. He’s going to pay for what he didn’t buy.”
Other reactions were more intense, with @princerollyajo calling Asake a “lucky agbero” while expressing disdain.
Similarly, @CHINONSOWISDO13 remarked, “If it was me, it wouldn’t end well; these celebs are too rude.”
Despite the backlash, Asake has yet to make any public statement addressing the incident.
The silence from his camp has only fueled further conversations online, with some fans questioning how he plans to handle the situation.
Asake’s aggressive response has sparked debates about the behaviour of celebrities and their treatment of fans.
Many are left wondering whether Asake will take responsibility and apologize or continue to ignore the growing criticism.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
