Billboard chart: Asake breaks Burna Boy’s record
Popular Nigerian Afrobeats star, Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, has opened up on why he called it quits with his girlfriend after he made it big in the industry.
According to the ‘Remember’ crooner, upon receiving a substantial paycheck for his music, he was so glad to share the news with her that he told her exactly how much he made and chose to gift her with N2 million.
Asake revealed his surprise at his girlfriend’s refusal of the N2 million, emphasizing that she deemed it too small compared to his substantial earnings from his big paycheck.
The singer expressed concern, noting that he was troubled by the unexpected behaviour, especially considering the lady’s humble background. He stressed that he didn’t anticipate such an attitude from her.
Asake further revealed that he discussed the situation with Olamide, who advised him to break up with the girl and instead suggested giving the money to his mother.
He mentioned that he gave his mother the N2 million, and now she’s independent and does not need to rely on him for money anymore.
Asake said, “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 coz 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 coz 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 coz she’s doing just fine…“
