Rapper Trigmatic has asked Artiste Managers like Bulldog to have the willpower in disciplining their artistes when they go wayward or misbehave.
According to Trigmatic, most Artiste Managers are unable to enforce such measures because they fear the artiste will fire them immediately. He made this known when he had a conversation with Graphic Showbiz recently.
An artiste manager, without fear or favour, should be able to face their artiste if they see something wrong with them. For instance, the manager should be able to say no to which kind of girlfriend the artiste goes in for if it will not help business.
Some artistes are very emotional and if they have frequent breakups, it means their music will be affected. Managers of such artistes should be able to tell them their choice of partners will not help them. Again the way an artiste answers questions when he or she is being pushed to the wall on live radio should be a prime concern to the manager.
Trigmatic added that there should not be familiarity between the artiste and the manager.
Whenever there is familiarity between the artiste and the manager work does not go on well. The artiste refuses to listen to the manager if there is familiarity.
The artiste can decide to ignore instructions from the manager so the two have to be professional at what they do. Inasmuch as I respect my manager, there is a limit.
