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.”
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
