VIDEO: Asake struggles to touch Black Stone in Mecca

Afrobeats star, Asake, was seen in a viral video struggling to get close enough to touch the Black Stone during a pilgrimage in Mecca.

In the circulating clip, the singer, whose real name is Ololade Ahmed, was lifted by people around him in an attempt to reach the sacred stone embedded in the Kaaba.

However, the effort appeared difficult due to the massive crowd of pilgrims gathered around the Kaaba, with many worshippers also attempting to get close to the sacred site.

The video showed the music star surrounded by thousands of worshippers performing prayers and religious rites at the Grand Mosque.

Asake is currently in Mecca, one of Islam’s holiest cities, where thousands of Muslims gather during the sacred month of Ramadan for prayers and spiritual reflection.

Amid the crowd, the singer was seen wearing a white robe similar to those worn by many pilgrims visiting the holy sites.

Earlier, the Afrobeats star shared a clip on his social media page showing the moment he offered prayers at Raudhatul Jannah, one of the most revered prayer spots in Islam located inside Masjid an-Nabawi.
