Nigerian musical artist Asake shared a personal account of how his mentor, Olamide, guided him through a pivotal decision during the early stages of his stardom. Asake recounted an incident where, after earning a substantial amount from his music, he decided to share the joy and financial success with his girlfriend by offering her a gift of N2 million. Contrary to his expectations, his girlfriend declined the gift, suggesting it was insufficient relative to his earnings. This response, particularly unexpected given her modest upbringing, left Asake perplexed.

Seeking counsel, Asake turned to Olamide, who advised him to reconsider the relationship and instead, redirect the financial gift to his mother. Following Olamide's advice, Asake sent the N2 million to his mother, who invested it wisely in establishing a sizeable provision store. This investment has since provided her with financial stability, alleviating Asake's concerns about her well-being.

In reflecting on the turn of events, Asake expressed his gratitude towards Olamide's guidance, noting the positive outcome of his decision.
