Nigerian hip-hop artiste, Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has revealed that rave of the moment, Asake, used to be his backup singer before hitting stardom.
He said he has been friends with his colleagues, Fireboy, Asake, Superboy Cheque, Yhemolee, and Zamorra from the early days of their careers at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Osun State.
The ‘Sex Over Love’ singer recalled that Zamorra and Asake used to provide background vocals for him in the studio.
On a recent episode of Hip TV’s Trending, BlaqBonez and reality personality Kimoprah discussed this.
He 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.”
