Popular Nigerian rap artist Emeka Akumefule, also known as Blaqbonez, has revealed that Asake used to be his backing vocalist during the rage of the moment.
He claimed that they were buddies and coworkers in the University before the YBNL act became well-known.
According to Blaqbonez, he, Fireboy, Asake, Superboy Cheque, Yhemolee, and Zamorra were close friends from the early days of their careers at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Osun State.
This information was revealed by the “Haba” singer during an interview with reality TV personality KimOprah for Hip TV’s entertainment program Trending.
He recounted how Zamorra and Asake used to assist him in the studio with background vocals.
Blaqbonez said;
“I have known Fireboy, Asake, Superboi Cheque, Yhemolee, and Zamorra since OAU days. Zamorra and Asake have always been great at backups. You know this thing Asake does now with his vocals, he has understood this thing from time.
“So, I used to ask him to help me figure out these things. They’ve always been influential in my music journey because I feel like every phase of BlaqBonez helped build the BlaqBonez that I am now.”
