Nigerian singer Asake has found himself at the center of controversy after his former strategist, Tunde Babalola, popularly known as Tunde Phoenix, called him out for allegedly staging a publicity stunt with American model India Love.
The drama began when photos of Asake and India Love surfaced online, sparking dating rumors.
However, Tunde Phoenix took to his Instagram Stories to criticize the singer, questioning whether a fake romance was the best promotional strategy he could come up with for his new music.
He dismissed the stunt as a “dead rollout” that was too obvious to be effective.
According to Tunde, Asake was attempting to replicate similar tactics used by Burna Boy and Chloe Bailey but failed to execute it convincingly.
He advised the singer to focus on releasing quality music rather than resorting to fabricated relationships for attention.
The situation escalated when India Love herself clarified that she and Asake were not romantically involved, stating that the viral images were merely from a music video.
Seizing the opportunity, Tunde quickly reposted her statement, further mocking Asake with the caption, “She don confess.”
