Asake used to stay with me, travel with me to shows and all that. When this guy blew up like this, he just entered… I was like, ‘You haven’t seen anything yet. The Asake that I know, you haven’t seen anything.'”
He further elaborated, “Asake went to [Obafemi Awolowo University] Ife. He can dance. See, that year, if I show you videos on my phone, Asake can dance when he is on stage. That time I just dropped ‘Sensima,’ he used to follow me everywhere.”
