Renowned Nigerian singer, Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake, has disclosed the reasons behind his decision to end his relationship with his girlfriend following his rise to fame in the music industry.
The ‘Remember’ artiste shared that upon receiving a huge sum from his music career, he eagerly informed his girlfriend of his success and even gifted her N2 million in celebration.
However, Asake was shocked when his girlfriend refused the kind gesture, deeming it small compared to his newfound wealth.
This reaction shocked him, especially considering her humble background and he hadn’t anticipated such a response.
Seeking advice, Asake confided in Olamide, who recommended parting ways with the girlfriend and instead directing the money towards his mother.
Following this counsel, Asake transferred the N2 million to his mother, enabling her to establish a thriving provision store.
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.
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 because 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 N2 Million 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..”
