Why I was only able to manage Asake for two years – Ex-manager Stephen Nana spills

Asake’s former manager, Stephen Nana has SPILLED on why he was only able to manage the singer for two years

Without lies, he said he choose his family over his job.

According to him, it all began when Olamide called him over to manage the singer. He says though he was a novice, he had to honour his 20-year friendship with Olamide and took up the job.

He was already married at the time with two sons. The job started and he could be on the road with Asake for months, a thing he said stated affecting his relationship with his family.

He concluded Asake became too big, and there was no time for family, and he had to quit!!!

Speaking in a video shared on social media, Stephen said: “Olamide called me one day and told me that he had an artiste he would want me to manage. And that was the first time I’m going into management. I don’t know anything about the job. I have been friends with Olamide for over 20 years.

“I never met Asake before. I don’t know anything about him and I have never heard his song before. And I cannot learn the job on the job. Asake blew up so quickly that there was no time to learn the job, so it was back to back.

“The challenge was my family. At a time I had two sons and I did not have time to spend with them. I’m a family guy, I have not been able to be there for my family but still then I still have to make money so they can live a better life.

“Sometimes we are on the road for four to five months. I’m always on my phone with my kids. So I asked them to come to London and my second son refused me to carry him because he doesn’t know me. For me to be able to balance my work and family, I have to step down. Asake became way too big that I have to be following him everywhere he goes. So, I’m now a family man, and I love my wife.”
