One of the tracks off Lungu Boy featured Asake's senior colleague, Wizkid, and for the first time, the very private Wiz openly talked about the loss of his mum.

After the passing of Wizkid's mother, the singer dropped a new project, but he didn't talk or mention anything about his mother on the EP.

Asake gives fan his shirt

Legit.ng had earlier reported that Asake was performing at a show, and a lady who loved the singer got up to vibe to his song.

She sang the lyrics of the music word for word and imitated Asake's dance steps.

Asake was so pleased with the kind of love the lady had shown him that he had to remove his shirt and give it to her.
