“There are several examples of artistes dating their managers over the world. Wizkid has a child with his female manager. The question remains what will be the future of their work when the relationship is no more?”
He added that it is crucial to distinguish relationship from the business, and noted that it is important to put the music business first.
“If your interest is in the business, I believe one must invest his or her time in making sure the business thrives rather than affection. As far as I am concerned, I cannot do that.”
Electromirror also added that he doesn’t share the ideology that it is challenging to work with female artistes. He further stated that he has also had very challenging moments managing male artistes.
“For me it’s what I want to get out of the person, not about gender. There are times when I did not have good times with men. Here I am having a good working time with a woman, so there is no problem at all.”
