"E-Money Used To Be My Manager" - Kcee

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

‎Nigerian singer and songwriter, Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has opened up on the relationship between him and his younger brother, billionaire businessman Emeka Okonkwo, aka E-Money.


‎According to Kcee, during a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Kcee revealed that his younger brother, E-Money used to be his manager. He stressed that he was among those who sponsored E-Money's wedding because he made money before him.


‎He, however, revealed that E-Money is now richer than he is, because he has built multiple streams of income.


‎Kcee said:
‎“E-Money used to be my manager. When I blew up as KC-Prech, he used to be our manager. I made money before him. I was among those who sponsored his wedding. Then he started making money, making more money.”


‎“The number of years I have put into music, if I had put into a business, I would have been ten times richer than I am. E-Money has businesses that consistently bring in returns. But we as artists, we live flashy lives… Sometimes, a hit comes, sometimes, a hit doesn’t come.”


‎“Having said that, my relationship with E-Money goes way back. My mum told me that when he was born, I held his hand and shed tears of joy. I stayed with baby E-Money at the hospital for three days… Growing up, it was always me and him.”


‎“The relationship grew so big and strong that I started shouting ‘E-Money’ in my songs. I named him E-Money. I used to be K-Money, there was P-Money (which is Prech), then there’s E-Money. Then, he was our manager, he wasn’t wealthy. We called the money into existence. And when the money came, he continued to be known as E-Money. On my songs, I was shouting ‘E-Money’; most people thought I was the E-Money until he started gaining visibility."
