Award-winning singer Asake has earned a nomination for the 2025 Brit Awards in the International Artist of the Year category.
This marks his second Brit Awards nomination, following his recognition in 2024.
Asake’s successful 2024 was fueled by the release of his third album, “Lungu Boy,” which featured guest appearances from Wizkid, Stormzy, Central Cee, and Ludmila.
He is the only Nigerian artist nominated in this year’s Brit Awards.
Asake will face stiff competition from global stars Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Benson Boone, among others.
The 2025 Brit Awards ceremony will be hosted by Jack Whitehall and held on March 1, 2025, at London’s iconic O2 Arena.
