He also revealed how he got the name Lungu Boy. According to him, it was a term in Hausa which meant bad corner. He explained that where he resided in China was at a corner, and people visited him, especially the Hausas. That was how other residents began to call him Lungu Boy or Corner Boy.

In an interview with content creator Lucky Udu, the up-and-coming artiste said he felt like a fake person using the Lungu Boy stage name because Asake was now more popular with it. Before fame, he said he used to help Asake with his financial needs and asked him to prove where he had used Lungu Boy before April 6, 2024.
