Nigerian artist Asake has come under heavy criticism online after he was seen smashing a fan’s iPhone 16 Pro Max during a recent performance in Germany.
The incident, captured on video and shared by a fan identified as Adeoti, shows the moment Asake forcefully grabbed the phone and smashed it on the ground, leaving it badly damaged.
Adeoti had tried to take a picture with the singer when the unexpected outburst occurred, sparking outrage among fans on social media.
