The tweet saw another response from a fan of 9ice, who tweeted, “Gongo Aso is bigger than Asake’s past, present, and future music career.”
Another user tweeted, “Is it the same 9ice that Buju called a source of inspiration? Like the same 9ice that made many non-Yoruba folks wanna sing Yoruba songs? Asake is good. It is his time. I love his album. The comparison is not needed.”
9ice hit the limelight in 2008 with his smash single ‘Gongo Aso’. He went on to win the Best Hip Hop Artist of the Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards, a MOBO award and swept four other awards at the 2009 edition of the Headies.
