Speaking on Asake’s talent, Fireboy said,
“Our record label [YBNL] boss, Olamide, advised me to feature Asake on ‘Bandana.’ We sent it to him. He recorded that song on his tour bus. It was quick. The energy was insane”
“Asake is someone I’ve known since way back. We went to the same university. He has a very crazy personality.
“He’s a born star. We had that synergy from way back in school. We had similar struggles. We went through almost the same journey,” he added.
