In the video, Asake who is currently making waves in the Nigerian music scene after releasing hit tracks “Sungba”, “Palazzo” and “Peace Be Unto You”, is seen performing as a backup singer for Broda Shaggi during a live performance.

However, it’s not clear when the video was filmed but it’s presumed to be before Asake came to lime light.
