Ex-Manager Of Musician Mr. Drew Confirms Rumours Of Their Splits

Afrobeat sensation Mr. Drew has finally parted ways with his manager Mr Philip Nelson well known in showbiz as Jeezy.

Mr. Nelson explained that the “Dw3” hit-maker Mr. Drew made certain comments which did not sit well with him, thus, resulting in the decision to stop working together. According to Jeezy, he realized the singer did not require his services any longer. He made these revelations in an interview on 3Music TV’s Culture Daily while discussing the roles of managers.

“When we met with the lawyers, that’s my lawyer and Drew’s lawyer. They came up with a contract. I didn’t decide to even part ways with him because of the contract but it was because of some utterances from the artiste. So I kind of realised at this point I had to run away because he felt like he’s gotten to a point where he wants to make decisions for himself and that he feels he’s the boss now. So I felt like you don’t need a manager, you can handle yourself.”

When asked by host Jay Foley about how managers find talent, the Ex-Manager provided additional details about how he first started working with Mr. Drew.

“So Drew I watched him during his time at HitMaker so I followed his journey from auditions to the finals then I realized this guy is a talent. I wanted to manage someone like Michael Jackson. I followed him till he finished. The funny thing is I never approached him. I was helping him because I was working with GHONE TV and I was producing rhythms which is a musical show so at any point in time I was playing his music. So I don’t know if he got to know this man likes my music then he approached me in 2019 to manage him. So that’s how it started.”

Jeezy and Mr. Drew worked for a while, and during that time, Mr. Drew saw success with his songs.
