Yemi Elesho, a Nigerian actor and content creator, has opened up about his connection with Grammy-winning musician Asake.
Yemi Elesho said in a recent interview with streamer Jigan that his connection with the artist began while they were both undergraduates at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife.
He added that he has a long working relationship with Asake, and that he used to pay him a plate of rice and a bottle of Coca-Cola as performance fees for appearing in his films and skits on campus.
“I used to give Asake a ₦700 plate of rice and a bottle of Coca-Cola as performance fees for him to feature in movies during our undergraduate days at OAU,” he recalled.
“He is my day-one, my very good friend. I have pictures and videos of our time together at OAU. We used to play celebrity football matches together back in the day.”
