Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Asake has recounted how his boss, Olamide advised him to dump his girlfriend when he became a star.
He revealed that when he first made his big paycheck from music, he was so happy that he shared the news with his girlfriend and he gave her full details of how much he made. He gave his girlfriend N2 million as a gift and to his astonishment she turned it down, saying it was too small compared to the money he made.
He revealed that he was worried over her statement because the lady in question is from a humble background and he never imagined her to be like that. He disclosed that he explained the situation to Olamide who advised him to leave his girlfriend and instructed him to send the money to his mother.
Asake expressed how happy he is to have headed to his advice as his mother made good use of the money to open a big provision store and till now, she hasn’t called him for financial issues.
“When I made my first big paycheck from music, I was so happy that I shared the news with my girlfriend. I gave her full details of how much I made and the next day, I gave her 2 million naira as a gift.
To my surprise, she turned it down saying 2 million was too small compared to how much I had made. I was a bit worried cause this girl is from a humble background and I never imagined her to be like that.
I explained the situation to Olamide and he advised me to leave the girl, he also instructed me to send the 2 million naira to my mom. I’m glad I did cause my mom was able to make good use of the money and open a big provision store. My mom doesn’t call me for financial issues anymore cause she’s doing just fine”
Olamide isn’t just a label boss, but a father as well”.
