The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has hosted Afrobeats star Asake and his mother at the ancient palace in Ile-Ife, describing the singer's visit as a symbolic homecoming.
In a video shared on his official X handle, the monarch referred to the Lonely at the Top' hitmaker as "my son," praising his global success and strong Yoruba identity.
The footage showed Asake performing one of his hit songs for the Ooni and other dignitaries during the visit, after which the traditional ruler presented the artiste with an artwork from his personal collection.
