Award-winning singer Asake’s recent meeting with Ghana’s President John Mahama in Accra, sparked widespread online attention.
This meeting followed his headline performance at the AfroFuture Ghana festival, held at El-Wak Stadium as part of the ‘December in GH’ festivities.
The encounter, captured on video, shows Asake warmly greeting President Mahama and other guests, including Ghanaian actor John Dumelo and businessman Ibrahima Mahama.
During their interaction, Mahama joked about a fan firing a gun during Asake’s concert, saying, ‘So he is the one the guy fired the gun for?’
Asake expressed regret and appealed for leniency, but Mahama responded, ‘Don’t worry about it. The law is the law’.
The suspect was apprehended for the unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm at a public event.
Asake, a Grammy-nominated artist, has released three albums and recently relocated to Los Angeles.
