It’s Better To Date Your Artiste – Mark Okraku-Mantey

Okraku-Mantey is echoing Bulldog’s sentiments.

Veteran Ghanaian music executive, Mark Okraku Mantey agrees with Bulldog’s controversial comments. According to Bulldog, it is better if a manager dates their female artist.

Furthermore, it seems that Okraku-Mantey has reasons for his agreement. He said it is frustrating to invest a lot in an artist only to have her under the control of another man. This might be due to the nature of their relationship.

However, he said he has never dated any female artist in his 20 years of management. The CEO of Slip said he understands the argument people make for that.

‘Some man will call the shots because they’re married’ – Okraku-Mantey

“Some man will sit in his house and take decisions for you because you have invested in his wife. He will call the shots. Because your money is in there, you will conform whether it will help your investment or not, or else the man will say she won’t work with the manager anymore.

I’m talking based on the environment as in Ghana.”

His comments echo those of BullHaus CEO Bulldog, who recently said a manager can only properly manage a female artist by sleeping with them.
