Both had clashed while growing up in the industry. It was supposed to be a passing phase but the acrimony that developed between them lingers. The question is: who will settle the rift between Asa and Kcee?***
Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, popularly known as KCEE, has responded to the words of one of his colleagues, Bukola Elemide, better known as Asa, who allegedly insulted him in 2021.
In the popular ‘Star Quest,’ a talent competition that Star used to organise, Asa had lost to KCee, who was formerly in the Hip Hop duo group called Kc Presh.
In a viral interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the Songstress came down heavily on Kcee, saying how much he enjoys dwelling on the fact that she lost a competition to him.
Asa also called him a “idi’*t” for suggesting she cried after losing the talent show to him.
Asa had said, “Kcee, that’s like a Grammy award for him, he is such an idi*t. ‘I beat Asa, she was crying.’ When did you see me cry?” Asa had asked.

Fast forward to May 2023, Kcee in a recent chat with Goldmyne TV, reacted to Asa’s mockery, saying he wished Asa understand his message which he said might have been misinterpreted by her.
Kcee said despite the fact that he loves Asa’s songs, he remains unperturbed by her opinion about him because “it adds nothing to my pocket”.
“I wish she heard what I said, maybe someone interpreted something else to her,” he said. “If she heard me, she would understand she’s like an inspiration to a whole lot of people but trust me as you see me, I’m a freaking legend. I have a right to say whatever I want to say. I still love her songs. If she loves me or hates me, it adds nothing to my pocket.”
