With two great nights done and dusted, the Neo-fuji star had unfortunately had to bring his third night at the 5,000 capacity 02 Academy Brixton to a stop after about a thousand people had forced their way inside. According to eyewitness reports, this development had occurred shortly after Asake started performing on stage. Authorities also state that four concert-goers are currently in critical condition in the hospital after the police was unable to hold off the crowd which was estimated to be about 3,000.

Asake had previously performed twice at the show venue to raving reviews. Showgoers however speculate that the stampede was caused by Asake fans who snuck into the venue with fake tickets, preventing a good number of legitimate ticket holders from getting in and leading the stranded crowd to take desperate measures.
