Afro beat queen has open up about possible mad blood between her and other Female singer especially Tiwa Savage
Speaking om Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay and Chidinma
She said
I don’t know why the media takes
pleasure in pitting great women against one another. Have you ever seen
any text message from any of us lambasting another person? There’s no
proof of these things; it’s just in the imagination of people. I’ve
never stopped working and I was already working before Tiwa Savage came
to Nigeria. I am a fan of their music, and on my Snapchat page, I
usually dance to their songs. I do not consider Tiwa Savage a friend
because I don’t know her favourite colour or meal and other intimate
things. She is just my colleague
Speaking on Sexual harassment
Record label owners and show promoters
are all guilty of this. Sexual harassment comes in different levels;
some are intense, some are subtle, and some even come through third
parties. However, I’ve never found myself in a situation that felt very
uncomfortable. Once I see the signs, I run and the person would not even
have the opportunity to go through with his evil plans. There are some
people who I looked up to in the industry but surprisingly, they also
wanted sex
Background
I was born in Abia State. My late
father, a Yoruba man, was a retired commissioner of police, while my
mother is an Igbo-born businesswoman. I wasn’t one of those kids that
attended parties, because my father was a disciplinarian. However,
growing up was fun for me
Education
I attended St. Saviour’s British School, Victory Grammar School, and afterwards, I studied Geography at the University of Lagos.
Music
I grew up listening to music because
when I was a child, my father loved to listen to King Sunny Ade. I never
wanted to become an artiste but I loved music. It was when I won the
Peak Talent Show that I realised that I needed to make a career out of
it. My mum was the first person to believe in me and she has always
supported me. She often gave me money to buy clothes and prepare for
shows.
Role models
In Nigeria, I love P-Square and Omawumi. Outside the country, it’s Beyonce and Jay Z
Record label
In future, I’d love to have a record
label. But sincerely, if you want to have the kind of record label that
would actually groom superstars, I don’t think it’s something you can do
overnight. For artistes who easily float record labels, I think
experience is the best teacher. Most of them have since realised that
they acted before the appropraite time
Memorable moments
Each day is another opportunity for me
to be thankful. The great moments are so many, but I know that the
numero uno is yet to come. That moment would be when I bring home a
Grammy However, there are a lot of moments I cherish, and representing
Africa at the Make the Future Campaign done in partnership with
Shell is one of them. Superstars like Jenifer Hudson were on that
campaign, and I was the only African
Lowest point
That was the moment my dad died, and I wasn’t there with him; it shook me a lot. I was on an European tour when it happened
Favourite songs
All my songs are dear to my heart, but some do stand out. On King of Queens album, the song Bamboo is memorable because I got inspiration and wrote it on a motorcycle. On the Mama Africa album, the song Africa also strikes a chord. As of the time I wrote it, I had been out of the continent for a long time, so I was longing for home
Current projects
We’re working on my first worldwide tour which would last about a year. I will visit all the continents in the world
Relaxation
I take good wine, watch good movies, eat good food, and generally take life easy.
Misconception
I think people generalise too often. I
find that most people don’t expect that I’m enlightened, and can hold a
meaningful conversation. That’s one of the biggest misconceptions about
me.
Relationship
Other than being an entertainer, I have
my personal life. If I’m going to be in a relationship with someone in
the same profession with me, I’d have to be deeply in love with the
person’s personality. If the personality suits me, why not? Personally, I
think I’m a reserved and nice girl. I’m also a hopeless romantic;
movies easily make me cry. The last movie that made me cry was a cartoon
in which a little dinosaur lost his mum
Style
Style is a representation of who you are
on the inside, manifested on the outside. It’s like garbage in, garbage
out. I don’t go anywhere without my sunglasses. I don’t think there’s
anything I cannot be caught wearing. Expect anything from me because I
don’t even trust myself.
