Iconic Nigerian singer Asa delivered a mesmerizing performance at the state dinner in France hosted in honor of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife.

The event, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, was a night of elegance and cultural celebration, and Asa's live rendition of her hit song "Eye Adaba" was the highlight of the evening.

A Graceful Performance

Dressed in an all-black ensemble adorned with shimmering gemstones, Asa exuded poise and sophistication as she captivated the audience. Her soulful delivery of Eye Adaba, a song of peace and hope, resonated with the dignitaries present, creating an unforgettable moment.

While many fans expected her to perform the politically charged "There is Fire on the Mountain", Asa’s choice of Eye Adaba seemed fitting for the celebratory occasion. One social media user humorously commented: “She should have sang ‘There is Fire on the Mountain’! 😂”

A Night to Remember

The performance was met with enthusiastic applause, as President Tinubu, his wife, and President Macron visibly enjoyed the soulful artistry. The event showcased Asa’s ability to bridge cultures with her music, leaving attendees in awe of her talent.
