Lambeth Police confirmed that many people were seriously injured and some were hospitalised after a large crowd tried to get into Brixton O2 Academy without tickets to watch Asake perform.

During his performance at the Flytime concert in Lagos on Thursday, Asake paused the show to pay tribute to the two lives that were lost as a result of the chaos.

“Inside of me, I feel pained for them. May their soul rest on peace. But before we go I just want to us to observe a minute silence for them, those who lost their lives in London. We love them, may God be with them,” the singer said.
