"Boys and girls, our new word today is 'pimp.'"

I need some linguistic help. I was at a club when the manager came over and began talking. I inquired of the whereabouts of a new dancer to whom I was very attracted (a Susannah Hoffs look-alike, including the little body). The manager told me that she had quit dancing, and had a "pimp." Now, to someone of my vintage, a "pimp" is a business agent for a prostitute. However, taken in context, he seemed to be using the word "pimp" to mean a man who would keep a woman, what we used to call a "sugar daddy." I certainly didn't get the impression that this woman was hooking and available for tricks.

What do you think the club manager meant when he said that the dancer was no longer dancing, and that she now has a "pimp."
