Award-winning singer Asake’s recent meeting with Ghana’s President, John Mahama, in Accra drew widespread attention online.
The meeting came after Asake’s headline performance at the AfroFuture Ghana festival held at the El-Wak Stadium as part of the “December in GH” celebrations.
A video of the encounter shows Asake exchanging warm greetings with President Mahama and other guests, including actor John Dumelo and businessman Ibrahima Mahama.
During their conversation, Mahama made a light remark about a fan who fired a gun during Asake’s concert, saying, “So he is the one the guy fired the gun for?”
Asake expressed remorse and asked for understanding, but Mahama replied, “Don’t worry about it. The law is the law.”
The individual involved was arrested for illegally possessing and discharging a firearm at a public event.
Asake, a Grammy-nominated artiste, has released three albums and has recently relocated to Los Angeles.
