Super Boy Cheque Reflects on Long-Standing Friendships with Asake, Fireboy DML, and Blaqbonez

Nigerian rapper Super Boy Cheque recently opened up about his relationships with fellow artists in the entertainment industry.

The “Zoom” hitmaker shared that he has maintained friendships with many of his peers, including Asake, Fireboy DML, Blaqbonez, and Yhemolee, since their undergraduate days at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

In an interview with Hip TV, Cheque revealed that he and Asake were even dating roommates at one point during their time on campus.

“I met Yhemolee through one of my ex-girlfriends at an event in 2012,” Cheque recalled. “Through Yhemolee, I then met Fireboy, Blaqbonez, and others. I was studying chemical engineering and wasn’t into music initially because it seemed like something for unserious people. But eventually, music called to me, and I couldn’t resist it.”

Cheque added, “I started going to the studio with them. Yhemolee and I lived together, and that’s how I met Asake. Asake and I were dating two girls who were roommates, so we often visited their place together. It was a crazy time.”

Reflecting on his long-standing connections, Cheque noted, “I’ve been friends with Fireboy DML and Blaqbonez for 14 years.”
