Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has expressed profound grief over the death of a fan during his concert in Nairobi, Kenya.

The tragic incident occurred on December 20, 2025, at Nyayo National Stadium, where Asake performed alongside British-Nigerian singer Gabzy. Kenya’s National Police Service confirmed that a 20-year-old woman, Karen Lojore, was crushed to death near one of the stadium’s entry points.

According to a police spokesperson quoted by the BBC, a brief stampede broke out at the entrance to the stadium:

“During a musical concert at Nyayo National Stadium, there was a brief stampede at the entrance gate. While the situation later calmed and fans were able to access the stadium, an unfortunate case of a 20-year-old woman who was pressed to death near the entry point was recorded.”

Reacting on Instagram, Asake described the incident as devastating and extended condolences to the family.

“I am devastated by the tragic incident that took place at the festival on December 20th in Nairobi. My heart goes out to the family, friends, and loved ones of Karen Lojore. I pledge to support them and ensure we understand what happened. Those responsible must be held accountable. Music has always been my way of sharing love and joy, and it breaks my heart that anyone had to experience such loss. My thoughts are with everyone grieving, and I pray that Karen rests in peace. God bless Kenya.”

The star’s post underscores the sorrow and concern over safety measures at public events and the importance of accountability in preventing such tragedies in the future.
