In a move that signals a power shift in entertainment management, actress and producer Mercy Aigbe has officially signed with Ashipa Network, placing the burgeoning talent management agency at the helm of her thriving career.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Aigbe’s latest cinematic triumph, "Ada Omo Daddy," which has soared into Netflix's number 1, further solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the Nigerian film industry.
Opeyemi Ashipa, CEO of Ashipa Network, expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership, attributing the deal to his proven management prowess. "This agreement is a testament to the dedication and capacity we've demonstrated," Ashipa stated, highlighting his ability to deliver tangible results.
Ashipa's reputation precedes him, notably as the manager of popular comedian The Cute Abiola. Just last week, Ashipa Network hosted its highly anticipated "Ashipa And Friends" beach edition at 234 Loft Elegushi Beach, a star-studded affair that served as a showcase of Ashipa's networking and event management skills.
The event drew a constellation of stars, including Aigbe herself, The Cute Abiola, Rybeena, Martinsfeelz, DJ Tuzo, Kidbaby, Hitmen, Khapy Of Lagos, DJ Horlait, Captain Harry, and Sceedbarms, further cementing Ashipa Network's influence within the entertainment scene.
"A big shout out to Mercy for trusting me with her brand," Ashipa declared, underscoring the mutual respect and confidence between the two parties.
Aigbe, known for her discerning approach to her career, echoed Ashipa's sentiment, expressing her satisfaction with the new management team. "Your role in the 'Thin Line' distribution at the cinema shows that you are capable of managing my brand," Aigbe affirmed, referencing Ashipa's previous successes in film distribution.
This vote of confidence highlights Aigbe’s strategic vision and her belief in Ashipa Network's ability to elevate her already successful career.
The partnership comes at a pivotal time for Aigbe, with "Ada Omo Daddy" captivating audiences and generating significant buzz. With Ashipa Network now steering her professional trajectory, industry insiders are anticipating a new era of growth and innovation for the acclaimed actress.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Ashipa Network, solidifying its position as a major player in the Nigerian entertainment management landscape. As both Ashipa and Aigbe embark on this new chapter, all eyes are on the dynamic duo, eager to witness the heights they will reach together.
