Daniel Regha floors Wizkid's effort on Asake's Lungu Boy, says verse was bland: "Solid 4/10"

"It is a completely different feel from what we know Wizzy for. Hearing him talk about his mum is probably the first time we would hear be vulnerable on one of his songs since he released, Ojuelegba. It is a fantastic record and people seriously need to give Asake his flowers. That young man is not going anywhere anytime soon."

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.
