Popular music video director ThankGod Omori Jesam popularly known as TG Omori disclosed in a recent interview on Zero Conditions podcast that singer Asake couldn't afford to pay him N5m for a video shoot.
He said that he knew Asake on Instagram before he got signed by Olamide. He always encouraged him and told him they will still work together when the time comes.
He explained that he met Asake three years ago at Intercontinental hotel and they discussed work. He told him the budget was 5m but Asake told him he couldn't afford such a huge amount at the time.
Omori said Asake later reached to work with him after he released Omo Ope, the number one song in the country at the time but his rate had already gone up from N5m to N10m.
Asake felt skeptical about the budget but he told him, "Bro, you have the number one song in the country. Everybody should be ready. You have friends and I see you guys on Instagram, Snapchat. You guys are always balling in the club. Don't go to the club for three days. Bring the money to me"
He told him that N10m shouldn't be a problem to him and everyone he knows should be ready to invest in his music.
He said the shoot didn't happen until Olamide signed Asake into YBNL and that transformed everything.
