Davido's fans are chasing clout - AK STREETZ, PR manager

In a chat with AK STREETZ, a PR manager, he pointed out that being a manager to an artist (a talent) doesn’t mean the manager is required to listen only to that artist’s music. According to him, a manager is still a regular person who can enjoy other songs or artists,

"So being a manager to a talent doesn’t limit or curtail you to only hear the talent's song. It’s his choice of what springs him; the fan saying he should be fired is a lame clout-chasing opinion. As Asa stopped doing his job effectively? NO. This is the disadvantage of everyone has an opinion on things, especially in the entertainment industry. You see emotional reactions to things that they don’t know anything about."
