Nigerian artists being in a relationship with their managers is an open secret in the industry.

Although we all find love in different places, these Nigerian artists found love right in their own backyard by dating their managers.

The Nigerian entertainment sector is renowned for its wide range of activities that the audience perceives as relaxing and entertaining.

Their lives are public because they are in the spotlight. They appear to have lost the right to privacy because whatever they do is usually public knowledge. The public is not exempt from prying into their love life.

Members of the public are keenly interested in who these celebrities choose to date or have romantic relationships with.

These relationships attract a sizable audience who speculates on their next moves. It becomes even more intriguing if they choose to date their managers. Some of our superstars have been in the news for reportedly having affairs with their managers.

Let us look at some Nigerian artists that have a relationship with their managers, while some are still unconfirmed by both parties, others transitioned into marriage.

Chocolate City – Audu Maikori, Yahaya Maikori

Chocolate City is another Nigerian musical label created in 2005 by Audu Maikori, Paul Okeugo, and Yahaya Maikori, all of whom are lawyers. It is considered one of Africa’s largest and most successful indigenous urban record labels.

Mp3bullet.ng presents 6 pregnancy news from Nigerian Artists that took fans by surprise

It’s difficult to keep a secret. It’s considerably more difficult to keep a secret when you’re a public figure. However hiding a secret that physically transforms your body and is highly visible – such as a pregnancy – when you’re in the public glare, that’s effort!

Still, as well-known as artists are, there have been a few who have managed to conceal pregnancies and then surprise their fans and viewers with the big news at the perfect time.

When Davido announced that he was expecting his third child in 2019, many fans didn’t hesitate to express their shock. More surprise hit fans after the two welcomed a son, Ifeanyi in 2019.

Simi and Adekunle Gold

Simi announced her pregnancy in one of the most memorable ways in Nigerian history – with a music video.

Di’Ja

Di’Ja is the queen of surprising pregnancies. Di’Ja may be pregnant again at this time and no one will know because she is known for keeping her personal life quiet and has done so for not one, not two, but three children.

When word broke in 2011 that singer Omawumi was pregnant, it created a lot of buzz and controversy.

Some Nigerian artists are proud parents of twins and they never shy away from showing off their bundles of joy

Almost everyone adores twins; they are a bundle of joy that many people long for.

Whatever the case may be, when a very pregnant woman comes from the delivery room with not one, but two bundles of joy, there is always a lot of fuss.

The singer in a now-deleted post wrote that the reason why people are happened with what happened with Hushpuppi was that he was oppressing them on social media.

A lot of people are happy about what happened to Hushpuppi because he was oppressing them on social media. The truth is that rejoicing in his downfall is not gonna put money in your pocket. I’m tired of reading about someone else’s downfall. Let me jeje hustle my own.

However, some of her fans slammed her because they perceived she was supporting the socialite who was recently arrested by Dubai Police and FBI for fraud.

Emma Nyra later took to her Twitter Page top explain that she wasn’t supporting Hushpuppi but was only tired of reading news of his arrest.

She also said that people like her father who migrated to America would be put in the same box as cyber criminals thanks to people like Hushpuppi.

Meanwhile I NEVER said I was unhappy about his arrest. That’s the caption that Instablog gave you and you ran with it. I said I’m tired of reading about it. Of course his actions deserved the highest consequences. I never said otherwise. I said that I’m tired of reading about it

— Emma Nyra BABY (@EmmaNyra) July 5, 2020

The problem is that I was confused that the same people asking him for money and envying his lifestyle are now laughing. Fraud is wrong on all levels and should be punished accordingly. The problem to me is everyone looking for saviors and heroes on the internet. https://t.co/COfjby6qNv

— Emma Nyra BABY (@EmmaNyra) July 5, 2020

Men like my father who migrated to america to seek honest work as a pharmacist will now be labeled in the same box as hushpuppi because he’s Nigerian. That’s what I meant by his arrest is bad news because when I see him on the news in america all they say is Nigeria over & over

— Emma Nyra BABY (@EmmaNyra) July 5, 2020

I genuinely apologize if I offended anyone. I never meant to do that. I simply meant that I’m tired of reading about it. Justice will be served when it comes to his case and understand that I would never defend his actions at all. I actually never did.

She also Slammed Male Celebrities who she claimed she shared her own story with in confidence but they still went on to work with her sexual assaulter.

I can see all the male celebrities and notable figures that I told my story to in confidence trying to speak up for abuse now. You lot still kept working with the same man. Its actually making me sick. I feel so sick right now.

If we as a society do not come to the aid of women who have been preyed upon and taken advantage of, then how can we expect them to have the courage to speak up?! It’s high time that any victims of Rape or abuse are treated accordingly and as a victim of heinous crimes.
