Cheque Biography
Cheque was born on 23rd March 1995, in Okitipupa, Ondo State and he grew up in Ondo Town, Ondo State. Although he is popularly called Cheque or Superboy cheque, his real name is Akanbi Brett Bamidele. The singer attended Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State and graduated in 2017 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. He had shown interest in music right from childhood, so he didn’t seem to get a white-collar job with the degree.
Cheque is 25 years old as of 2020. He is focused on his music career, refusing to be lured into being in a relationship. So I think, cause there has been no news of him being engaged to anyone yet. He has been friends with other music stars like Fireboy, Chinko Ekun, Gbasky, Zamorra, and Blaqbonez, since their university days.

Cheque started music in 2015, while he was a student at OAU. According to him, he enjoyed watching rappers and was intrigued by the way they flowed with words. The “satisfied” singer was a first-class student for two years in school until he began admiring Zamorra’s rap that gave him another focus – music. After graduating from OAU in 2017, he migrated to Lagos to build up his music career. He competed in Reminisce’s Murk Reminisce challenge and got a message from Nigerian indigenous rapper, Phyno. 4 years later, Cheque was signed into PentHauze.
