Representing Detroit and under the management of the city’s own CM2 Entertainment, he delivered standout performances round after round, capturing the attention of both the audience and T-Pain himself.
Asaka’s journey to the championship wasn’t easy. The Final Four was stacked with talent, including Detroit R&B artist Sam Watson (also managed by CM2 Entertainment) and singer-songwriter Lauriana Mae.

T-Pain personally funded the entire competition, covering everything from travel expenses to the final venue, ensuring that artists like Asaka had every opportunity to shine without financial barriers.
Asaka The Renegade’s victory isn’t just a win for him—it’s a win for Detroit. The city has long been a breeding ground for musical legends, and Asaka’s rise through T-Pain’s competition is yet another example of the incredible talent coming out of the Motor City. His win puts him on a national stage, proving that Detroit’s hip-hop scene is alive, thriving, and ready to take over.
