She said: “What a sorry excuse of a “tribute” from @asakemusik. My sister lost her life at your show and you haven’t spoken to a single member of my family since. But you can hold another concert in London less than 9 months later and play her videos as a “tribute”? RIP to my sister Rebecca Ikumelo and also to Gaby Hutchinson.”
Recall that Rebecca, died after a stampede at Asake’s concert at the Brixton O2 Academy, London, United Kingdom, on Thursday, December 15, 2022.
Asake had sent his condolence to the family of the deceased, stating that he never imagined such a thing would happen.
He wrote, “I am devastated by the news that Rebecca Ikumelo, who was in critical condition since Thursday, has sadly passed away.
“My sincerest condolences to her loved ones at this time. Let us please keep her family in our prayers. I have spoken to them, and will continue to do so.
“I am overwhelmed with grief and could never have imagined anything like this happening.”
