Soul and pop singer, Waje, is certainly one of the babes of the
moment in today’s entertainment industry in Nigeria.
Now that her colleagues, including her best friend forever,
Omawunmi and of course, Tiwa Savage, have clinched a man
and even on a nine months course at the moment, Waje said
her time would certainly come soon.
Speaking exclusively to Saturday Beats recently during her
album listening party in Lagos, the singer said, “There is a
man in my life and very soon, you would hear all about it.”
But then, no matter how much she tries to hide the man in
her life at the moment, Waje is so open about her 16-year-old
daughter. Now that she could freely talk about being a single
mother, Waje said it wasn’t that easy when she was pregnant
with her daughter at the age of 18.
Since she got pregnant at such a young age, one would easily
surmise that the actress could have been a ‘bad girl’ when
she was young.
But then, she told Saturday Beats that she was “very naive.”
“I will not lie to you, I didn’t know anything. I was just a
young girl. I was so naive and innocent. It wasn’t easy in
those days. I was laughed at. I was given a nickname. I will
not tell you the nickname. But the truth is that I was
scorned.”
But no matter the challenges she faced, Waje said she would
be grateful to her mother who saw her through the trying
period.
“My mother is a mother. She is a true mother. I don’t know
what I would have done without her. She stood by me. She
never discouraged me. I tapped from her strength. It was her
strength that carried me on all through those years,” she said.
Those trying days are over and now, Waje has become a big
name in the industry. But the babe never believed that she
could get to the height she has reached in the industry at the
moment.
“If anybody had told me I would be this popular, I would have
told the person to keep his prophecy. I am indeed grateful. It
has been God all the way and also, I cannot take away the
fact that I have worked so hard to get to where I am today. It
is not yet over though. I still have more to do,” she said.
