In a recent interview with content creator Korty EO, the 31-year-old ‘Lungu Boy’ hitmaker reflected on leaving home at 15, despite the tension it caused with his family.

“The father who gave birth to me, he is way more stubborn than I am, so I could not look at his face. We were close when we were younger, but it got to a time when I wanted to leave home to do what I am doing now, but my father said no. I took off regardless,” Asake said.

He added, “…I was 15. I was just focused on where I was going, and there was nothing anyone could tell me.”
