Asake Goes ‘Back to the Soil’; Announces Mr. Money African Tour with December Stops in Nairobi, Lagos & Côte d’Ivoire

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake has sent waves of excitement across the continent with the announcement of his upcoming “Mr. Money African Tour.” After spending much of 2025 performing on international stages and building his global brand, the artist is returning to his roots with a three city African tour. The tour will kick off in Nairobi on December 20, continue to Lagos on December 24, and wrap up in Côte d’Ivoire on December 27. The announcement, made via social media and music platforms, has sparked a frenzy among fans eager to experience his high-energy performances live on home soil.

This tour marks a significant moment for Asake, who has had a remarkable year marked by solo hits and impressive collaborations. His single “Why Love,” released earlier in February 2025, topped Afrobeats charts across Nigeria, the UK, and even made notable waves in the U.S. The song reaffirmed his status as one of the continent’s most compelling voices in contemporary music. Following that, he dropped “Badman Gangsta,” a collaboration with French star Tiakola, which further broadened his international appeal and showcased his versatility in blending languages and styles.

In addition to his solo efforts, Asake has been busy teaming up with some of the biggest names in both African and international music. Tracks like “Che Che” with fellow Nigerian producer and artist Young Jonn, “99” with YBNL label boss Olamide, “Gold” with UK rapper J Hus, and “Satisfaction” with American rapper Gunna have kept his name trending across music platforms. Each collaboration has added new dimensions to his sound while affirming his relevance across multiple markets.

The announcement of the African tour is also feeding speculation around his forthcoming album, titled Mr. Money. Though no official release date has been confirmed, fans suspect the December tour may serve as a lead up to the project’s debut. The album, which has been teased subtly through lyrics and interviews, is expected to expand on the themes Asake has become known for; money, ambition, heartbreak, and spiritual balance, delivered in his signature fusion of Fuji-inspired vocals and amapiano beats.

This return to Africa is more than just a concert series. It represents a symbolic and emotional homecoming for Asake, who has built much of his success on connecting deeply with Nigerian and African listeners. After months of touring across Europe and North America, his return feels timely and intentional. The decision to schedule shows in Nairobi, Lagos, and Abidjan reflects his broad pan-African appeal, showing that he isn’t just a Nigerian superstar, but one of Africa’s leading cultural exports.

Fans are already buzzing about what to expect. Known for his theatrical stage entrances, live vocals, and spiritual energy, Asake’s performances are far from conventional. Many anticipate that this tour will raise the bar for Afrobeats stage production on the continent, especially with the resources and experience he has now gathered on the global scene.

Asake’s Mr. Money African Tour is shaping up to be one of the biggest music events on the continent in 2025. It’s more than a concert series. It’s a celebration of how far African music has come, and how deeply rooted it remains in the soil from which it grew. Asake’s return, fittingly branded “Back to the soil,” is a moment that blends gratitude, growth, and greatness.
