Nigerian artists being in a relationship with their managers is no longer a secret in the music industry.
These Nigerian artists found love right in their own backyard by dating their managers. You can find love anywhere. 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 lives.
Here are some Nigerian artists that have a relationship with their managers.
1. Niyola and Bank W
Banky W was romantically linked to his record label signee Niyola long before he proposed to his missing rib partner, actress Adesua Etomi. Banky W, who also served as the singer’s manager, was said to be more to her than just a manager.
