Nigerian artist, Asake narrates why he abandoned his girlfriend after he made his first hit money from his music career.
According to Asake, when he received a significant payment for his music, he eagerly shared the news with his girlfriend and even disclosed the exact amount he earned.
To his surprise, his girlfriend declined the offer of N2 million, considering it insufficient compared to his substantial earnings. Asake was taken aback by her response, especially considering her humble background, and sought advice from Olamide, who suggested breaking up with her and giving the money to his mother instead.
Following this advice, he gave the N2 million to his mother, ensuring her financial independence and relieving himself of the burden of providing for her.
In his words:
“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…“
