Asake Asake

Elesho, the son of the legendary Yoruba comic actor Adewale Elesho, revealed that he used to buy Asake with a plate of food and a bottle of carbonated drink for his performances.

He made this known during a recent conversation with streamer Jigan. Elesho mentioned that he and Asake have known each other since their time at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife.

The comic actor explained that their friendship began when they were both trying to establish themselves in the entertainment industry.

Elesho said, “I used to give Asake a ₦700 plate of rice and a bottle of Coca-Cola as performance fees for him to feature in movies during our undergraduate days at OAU.

“He is my day-one, my very good friend. I have pictures and videos of our time together at OAU. We used to play celebrity football matches together back in the day.”
