Asake Arrives In Saudi Arabia For Umrah Amid Middle East Tensions

Afrobeats star Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, has arrived in Saudi Arabia amid ongoing Middle East tensions. In the early hours of Thursday, March 11, the “Lonely At The Top” singer shared videos of his departure from Nigeria and journey to the kingdom. His visit coincides with the last ten days of Ramadan, a period when many observe Umrah and seek the blessings of Laylat al-Qadr. In one clip, Asake appears at the airport dressed in ihram, indicating he is performing the spiritual pilgrimage. Umrah is a revered, voluntary journey to Makkah that can be undertaken year-round. The rites include entering a state of purity (ihram), circling the Kaaba seven times (Tawaf), walking between Safa and Marwa (Sa’i), and concluding with men shaving or trimming their hair, while women trim a small portion.   View this post on Instagram
