INTERVIEW<br />
I’ve performed severally across different seasons of Big Brother but the<br />
last one I actually watched must have been 2 years ago. With that<br />
being said even though I haven’t been watching this lockdown edition,<br />
in my heart, I’m rooting for the girls of course! Girl power always!!!<br />
There was talk of you in a serious relationship you allegedly<br />
walked out of which led you to sharing deep feelings with your<br />
single female social media followers. You talked about making<br />
better decisions for self amongst other things. Care to shed more<br />
light on this?<br />
I walked in on a young lady I’d never met before, lying naked on<br />
the bed I shared with my now ex-fiance. Need I say more? It was<br />
traumatic but I learned a very big lesson which was - take your time<br />
and listen to your inner voice when it tells you something is wrong,<br />
either with you, him or the relationship.<br />
Self-care has become a buzzword now for any respectable<br />
millennial. What does that look like for you- Seyi Shay?<br />
Spoiling myself to treats when I can, traveling, eating good food,<br />
working out and protecting my energy.<br />
Virtual exchanges are now a part of our lives for the<br />
foreseeable future. New acts are about to discovered<br />
online in a massive way. You even led an activation that<br />
would enable upcoming musicians feature you on<br />
their songs. Tell us a bit about that and why you did<br />
it?<br />
I called for upcoming artistes to send in their demos<br />
with a space for me to feature on. The winners were<br />
selected some weeks ago out of hundreds of entries.<br />
My plan is to market and distribute these songs I’ve<br />
featured for free as times are hard and most up and<br />
coming musicians don’t have the funds to push their<br />
music themselves.<br />
I did this as a way of giving back and to help talents<br />
get discovered in a genuine and organic way.<br />
What advice do you have for the young artistes in<br />
the game?<br />
Be original and don’t give up.<br />
If you could, what would you say now to Seyi<br />
Shay of year 2000?<br />
You can’t trust everyone. Think before you act.<br />
Keep your eyes on the prize. Everything’s going to<br />
work out perfectly.<br />
Life is short. Do<br />
everything you<br />
have ever wanted<br />
to do, if you’re able<br />
to. Love and live<br />
well.<br />
