Nigerian rapper Super Boy Cheque has shed light on his past friendship with fellow artist Asake, revealing they both dated roommates during their university days.

Cheque disclosed that he has maintained close friendships with artists like Asake, Fireboy DML, Blaqbonez, and Yhemolee since their time as students at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Cheque shared that he and Asake were romantically involved with roommates while studying at the university. He also recounted how meeting Yhemolee through an ex-girlfriend at an event in 2012 introduced him to other musicians such as Fireboy DML and Blaqbonez.

In his words:

“I met Yhemolee through one of my former girlfriends. My friend was his friend and then she introduced me to Yhemolee at an event in 2012 or so,”

“From there I met Fireboy, Blaqbonez, and I started meeting everybody through Yhemolee. I was studying chemical engineering, I was strictly not into the music stuff because it was for unserious people. But I got into music fully eventually. It was like a calling. I couldn’t resist it. So I met those guys, and I started going to the studio with them.

“I and Yhemolee were staying together so I met Asake, too. Asake and I were dating two girls in the same room. We always moved together to their house. It was a very crazy time. The bond is very strong. I have been friends with Fireboy DML and Blaqbonez for 14 Years.”
