Mark Angel, a Nigerian comedian, has responded to speculations that he is no longer managing teen comedians Emmanuella and Aunty Success.
During a TikTok live session, the comedian revealed that he has stepped down from managing the young stars and that their careers are now managed by a professional agency.
“There was a time when I managed Emmanuella and Success when they were kids, but I no longer manage them.
“I am too busy to manage them. So, they have an agency that manages them, but I still work with them,” he said.
The comedian went on to say that even if he no longer manages the teenagers, his connection with the girls would not go down and that it is still solid.
He insisted that he would continue to work with them with the same passion that had garnered them recognition.
