Famous Nigerian musician Ahmed Ololade, better known by his stage name Asake, has opened out about why he decided to break up with his girlfriend after becoming widely recognised in the music industry.
The “Remember” singer revealed that he excitedly told his lover about his accomplishment after earning a sizable quantity of money from his music profession and even gave her N2 million as a token of appreciation.
When his fiancée declined the thoughtful gift, thinking it insignificant in comparison to his newly acquired fortune, Asake was taken aback.
Considering her lowly upbringing, he was taken aback by her reaction, since he hadn’t expected it.
Asake confided in Olamide for help, and Olamide suggested ending things with the girlfriend and giving the money to his mother instead.
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..”
