Abbey Toyyib Elias, alias Skiibii, a Nigerian artist, has disclosed that the rave of the moment, Asake, used to be his dancer before his musical career took off.
He said that the ‘Amapiano’ singer lived with him in the early days of his career and used to accompany him to gigs.
Skiibii said this when appearing as a guest on the current episode of the Afrobeats podcast presented by Shopsydoo, a British-Nigerian media figure.
The ‘Bhaddest Boy’ crooner said unknown to many, Asake is a great dancer, adding that he was a theatre performer while studying at Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ife, Osun State.
He said, “I was discussing with someone the other day, and he was saying ‘Asake just blew up now, he just entered the star mode.’
“Asake used to travel with me to shows. Asake used to stay with me, travel with me to shows and all that. When this guy blew like this, he just entered… I was like, una never see anything, the Asake wey me I know, una never see anything.
