As controversy continues to trail her new video,
I Wish, sexy singer, Waje, has explained the
reasons behind her decision to feature in it in
her 'birthday suit'.
In an exclusive chat with The Entertainer, Waje,
who recently joined Globacom's expanding
league of brand ambassadors, said that her
decision to bare it all was to highlight the plight
of women who are victims of heartbreak across
the globe.
"It's a form of art. Music is a language, which
involves a lot of expression and to be able to
express yourself properly, you have to paint a
picture for your viewers to understand. I Wish is
the story of a vulnerable woman which was the
picture I wanted to paint; a woman heart-
broken, helpless and vulnerable. I wanted to
draw attention to the plight of heartbroken
women. I wanted to be as close as I could to
nature for that video hence the nude scenes,"
she disclosed.
Born Aituaje Iruobe, it would seem she was
destined to make it big in music that has opened
a lot of doors for her. The graduate of Social
Works from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka
(UNN) started singing at an early age and that
earned her scholarship, courtesy of late Benson
Idahosa's of Church of God Mission.
"Music has always opened doors for me," says
Waje, who hit the limelight after she did one of
the verses on P-Square's massive hit, Do Me, in
2007. "Throughout my secondary school, I never
paid school fees because my singing got me a
scholarship from the late Bishop Benson
Idahosa. By faith, I even saw more happening
back then; I saw myself bringing back home a
Grammy. I have always known that God will
bless me through music. There is more to come
because I am here to stay. I am currently
collaborating with Coca Cola on a project. These
kind of things make you want to work harder
because you see that your hard work is paying
off at last."
