Rapper Cheque shares the background of his friendships with other Nigerian artists
Nigerian rapper Super Boy Cheque has opened up about his connections with fellow entertainers in the industry. The ‘Zoom’ singer mentioned that he has maintained friendships with several of his peers, such as Asake, Fireboy DML, Blaqbonez, and Yhemolee, dating back to their time as undergraduates at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Cheque shared that he and Asake were dating roommates at a point back then on campus. He said he met a lot of his colleagues through Yhemolee whom he met through one of his ex-girlfriends.
“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,” he stated.

“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, 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.”
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
