The 32-second clip, which emerged on Christmas Eve 2025, captures the black Maybach, a recent $205,000 purchase dodging stalled vehicles at around 3:50 a.m., with police escorts blaring sirens and excited youths running alongside cheering.
Fans celebrated the bold move in Pidgin comments like "Lagos boys don sharply sabi Asake," hailing it as street savvy amid notorious holiday gridlock.
Critics, however, slammed it as reckless privilege, with many noting "He can't do this in the USA" and highlighting inequality in a country where VIPs often flout rules ordinary citizens can't.
The incident reportedly tied to Asake's headline Flytime Fest performance that night, as he returned home after months abroad.
No official response from Asake yet, but the debate underscores Nigeria's love-hate relationship with celebrity perks, admiration mixed with frustration over traffic woes and lack of enforcement.
As Detty December rages on, this viral moment reminds us: in Lagos, stardom comes with its own lane.
