In the pursuit of greatness, some friendships may fade as you outgrow the limitations of your past. This bitter pill of reality was echoed by Yemi Elesho in a recent interview, where he painted a vivid picture of how Asake has left his old buddies high and dry after hitting the big leagues in the music scene, with their DMs left unanswered, lost in the digital ether.

In a recent interview, Yemi Elesho, who had a once-close relationship with singer Asake, didn’t hold back as he delved into the singer’s journey to stardom.
Elesho dished out some juicy details, alleged that Asake left behind some of his old friends in the dust after skyrocketing to fame.
Reflecting on the past, Elesho vividly described how the ‘lonely at the top’ crooner endured profound poverty, highlighted Asake’s unwavering resilience and relentless pursuit of success.

Yemi Elesho, a well-known skit maker and content creator, has revealed that Asake’s former acquaintances from his days as an emerging artist are expressing dissatisfaction with his apparent disregard for their messages.

In a recent exclusive sit-down with Echo Room, Yemi Elesho, who walked the same university corridors as Asake, disclosed that the acclaimed singer battled financial woes during his formative years at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, where he couldn’t even foot the bill for accommodation, and survived solely on the generosity of his friends.

Elesho acknowledged that since achieving stardom, Asake has indeed drifted away from his old circle of friends.

However, he offered a perspective suggesting that it’s only natural for Asake to prioritize certain relationships over others, given the constraints of fame and the inability to accommodate everyone in his newfound success.

Yemi Elesho said,

“Asake is big and a lot of his friends are complaining that he doesn’t reply their messages but it’s a natural thing, he can’t carry everybody along.”
