BEVERLY HILLS, May 26, (THEWILL) – Former artiste manager and ex-wife of singer, 9ice, Toni Payne, says popular comedian, AY, turned his back on then rising artiste Olamide and would later come begging after he became a star.

The publicist gave the gist in a social media post. She wrote: “Lol… I was speaking to a friend today and it reminded me of one story when I was managing Olamide… I stopped speaking to comedian AY cos of this incident and honestly till today, I’m glad I did cos I don’t like people with that sort of character.

“So me and AY used to be cool. I’d done favors for him in the past, no big deal. When Olamide was coming up, I decided to cash in a favor and asked if Olamide could perform at his show even if it’s for a minute.

“Omo, see ela. The man refused to give the boy a chance. It pained me ehn. I took the L and lamented for weeks. Lmao! No wahala, we sha kept it pushing. Anyways fast forward to the next year, Olamide had started doing well and guess who conveniently needed a favor, and wanted Olamide to perform? Oga comedian.

“This is the same guy that turned Ola down cos he wasn’t big now looking for “friend of the house” performance. See ehn, it’s ok to turn him down, nothing is by force but don’t come back later looking for a favor from that same person you underrated. It makes you look like a user. IMO!”
