Asake Joins NBA 2K25 with Music and Virtual Cameo
Asake just scored another big moment, this time in the gaming world. The Nigerian star’s track “Wave” with UK rapper Central Cee has been added to the NBA 2K25 Season 2 soundtrack, meaning millions of players are now vibing to Afrobeats while they hoop virtually.
