Adina Thembi, a Lynx Entertainment signee, has stated that there is nothing wrong with male artiste managers having sexual relationships with female artistes.
In an interview with Spice FM, she discussed the long-running debate over whether it is morally appropriate for a female performer to have an affair with her male manager.
No one should be uncomfortable, she says, as long as the two wish to remain together.
‘’There is nothing wrong as long as the artiste is not under age. If she is matured enough and the two of them understands that this is what they are doing and can separate that from their work and make sure they are successful then that is fine’’, she argued.
Adina also stated that having a sexual relationship with your manager is not uncommon in the music industry, but the most important thing is that both the manager and the singer must keep a professional attitude and carry out their jobs well in order for their brands to be projected.
‘’If you are a professional and you know this is your job description, knowing that, day in day out this is what you supposed to do for the artiste, the artiste also understands that she is suppose to do music then that is fine. That is how it should work so any extra thing is extra. They (Sexual relationships) are all extracurricular activities’’, she stated further.
