Why am I being blamed for Asake's decision to tattoo his face? - Yhemo Lee

Nigerian socialite Yhemo Lee has revealed that he received some backlash online after singer Asake debuted his new facial tattoos. On Monday, January 13, 2025, Asake surprised Nigerians by unveiling intricate tattoos on his face, a move that sparked mixed reactions online. Surprisingly, Yhemo Lee became a target of some of the backlash, and he spoke about it on his social media page. Taking to social media, Yhemo Lee expressed his frustration, saying, "People have been abusing me because of someone else's face. If I get mad, I’d also get facial tattoos, ruin my face, and become the best in tattoos—you will see." He continued, "Someone even told me that shame would be on me if I don't call Asake to order. You're lucky I'm in America. If I was in Lagos, I’d track you for saying that, because am I the tattoo artist who did his tattoos?"
