Musician Serena Bata separated from her ex-boyfriend and manager, Charles Obalimu (Sipapa) after 8 years together.

In a new interview, Bata noted that if she had not dated Sipapa, she would have been on top of her game.  She would be a better musician today.

“I wasted a lot of time with Sipapa. It pains me that I ruined my career in the process of loving him. If I had started with my current management, I think my career would be on a different path. I regret everything,” she said.

A few months ago, reports suggested that Serena Bata had fallen out with her manager Abitex.

Sipapa offered to take her back, but Serena responded that she will never work with him again.
