Nigerian music star Asake was seen trying to reach the revered Black Stone of the Kaaba during a visit to the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, but appeared to struggle due to the large crowd gathered around the sacred site.
In a video circulating on social media, the singer was seen among worshippers attempting to move closer to the Black Stone, which is located at the eastern corner of the Kaaba and holds deep religious significance in Islam.
Like many pilgrims who visit the holy site, Asake appeared eager to touch the stone, a practice observed by many Muslims during pilgrimage rituals when possible.
However, the dense crowd around the area made it difficult for him to get close enough.
Despite the challenge, the singer remained among the worshippers as security personnel and pilgrims moved around the sacred structure during the spiritual gathering.
