Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, also known as Asake, recently shared that he broke up with his girlfriend after becoming famous.
The award-winning artist, famous for his song “Lonely at the Top,” revealed that he was in a relationship before he gained fame.
After receiving a significant amount of money for his music, Asake was excited to tell his girlfriend about it. He even decided to give her N2 million as a gift.
However, Asake was surprised when his girlfriend turned down the N2 million, saying it was too little compared to what he earned from his music.
This unexpected reaction troubled the singer, especially considering his girlfriend’s modest background. He did not expect her to react that way.
Asake explained that he talked to Olamide about the situation. Olamide advised him to end the relationship with the girl and give the money to his mother instead.
Asake then gave his mother the N2 million. Now, she is financially independent and no longer needs to depend on him for money.
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…“
