“Asake Used To Be My Backup Singer” – Rapper BlaqBonez Says

Emeka Akumefule, who is a Nigerian rapper, better known by his stage name Blaqbonez, has revealed that Asake used to be his backup singer at a previous rave.

He claimed that they were friends and colleagues at the University before the YBNL Act became widely recognized.

According to Blaqbonez, he, Fireboy, Asake, Superboi Cheque, Yhemolee, and Zamorra were close friends from the early days of their careers at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Osun State.

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.”
