The music veteran has weighed in on the discourse of female artistes dating their male managers or record label owners, and commended Tiwa Savage for being able to keep her career going after her own saga. She said that it is difficult for a female act to succeed if she is not in good terms with her male manager.
Her words: “Yemi Alade is not having any challenges because her alleged romance (with her manager, Taiye Aliyu) is going fine for now. So everything is fine but once there is a fallout, there might be trouble. In the case of Emma Nyra and Ubi Franklin; her career nose-dived because they broke up and she became a wreck emotionally.
Now that she is coming back, she will have to join from the back and start all-over again. I am disappointed Kel did not try enough after her ill-fated relationship with Clarence Peters. She showed promise and still has the talent.
I understand how inconvenient it is to come up with music when you are emotionally down but people who win are those who pick themselves up and fight again. Kel should have done more than just give up on music. Dating one’s manager as a female artiste is not a plus, rather it often ends disastrously.”…. only God knows how Celine Dion did hers….
