Asake has cancelled the Los Angeles date of his ongoing 'In God We' tour, leaving ticket holders waiting for word on whether the show will be rescheduled.

Cancellations at this stage of a US run are rarely about demand. Touring logistics for Nigerian artists in North America have become more complicated in recent years, and a single missed date can cascade through a routing that was tight to begin with.

A busy season for Afrobeats abroad

The cancellation lands during an unusually full period for the genre overseas. Davido, Wizkid, Tems and Ayra Starr are all billed to headline Afro Plus Fest 2026 in Maryland, one of the larger Afrobeats bills assembled in the United States this year.

The Headies, meanwhile, has begun its move to Toronto for the awards' eighteenth edition — the latest in a run of Nigerian institutions staging major events in the diaspora rather than at home.

That shift has been read two ways. It reflects genuine international demand. It also reflects how much easier it has become to monetise a Nigerian audience abroad than the one in Lagos.
