Speculation about a possible relationship emerged after Dami and Asake were seen together in a photo taken at an event. She shared the image on Instagram with the caption “Mr Money and Mrs Money,” a phrase closely associated with Asake, which quickly fueled dating rumours online.
Reacting to the growing speculation, Dami took to her Instagram page on Monday to set the record straight, stating that there was no romantic relationship between them. She explained that the photo was taken during her first-ever meeting with the singer.
“Guys, that was my first time meeting him, so I took a picture. Please don’t believe everything you see on blogs; they will do anything for traffic,” she wrote.
Asake has kept his love life private in recent years and has not been publicly linked to anyone since his reported breakup with his Gambian girlfriend, Madame Mystique, in 2014.
In a related development, Afrobeats star Wizkid has expressed admiration for Asake and revealed that he would love to have the singer perform at his wedding.
According to Naija News, Wizkid made the comment during a recent appearance on Apple Music Radio with DJ Tunez. He described Asake as one of Africa’s most talented artistes and praised his impact on the continent’s music scene.
Wizkid disclosed that Asake’s music has been a long-time favourite of his, singling out the track Remember as his top pick, and expressed hope that the singer would perform one of his songs at his wedding.
