Asake, the Nigerian superstar, has achieved another milestone as his collaboration with British rapper Central Cee earned a spot on the NBA 2K25 season 2 soundtrack album.
Specifically, ‘Wave,’ a standout track from Asake’s third album ‘Lungu Boy,’ now features alongside songs from prominent American artists such as Key Glock and Lil Pete on the game’s soundtrack.
Notably, Asake stands as the only Afrobeats artist on this album, marking a significant continuation of Afrobeats’ presence in the game series. Previously, Adekunle Gold’s ‘Party No Dey Stop,’ featuring Zinoleesky, appeared in the NBA 2K24 soundtrack album.
Furthermore, through this achievement, Asake joins an elite group of Nigerian pop stars, including Adekunle Gold and Burna Boy, who have contributed to the soundtrack of this popular game. Impressively, the 2024 version has already sold over 9 million units worldwide.
Additionally, this inclusion further solidifies Asake’s position as a global superstar, as he has consistently proven himself to be one of Afrobeats’ most dynamic hitmakers. Since his breakthrough into the mainstream in 2022, he has maintained an impressive streak of commercial success, consistently delivering chart-topping and record-breaking hits.
Most recently, Asake completed his highly successful ‘Lungu Boy’ tour, during which he accomplished remarkable feats. Throughout the tour, he sold out several prestigious venues, including the iconic Madison Square Garden, Toyota Arena, TD Gardens, and Capital One Arena.
Moreover, he made history by becoming only the third Nigerian artist to headline the prestigious O2 Arena, further cementing his status in the international music scene.
