“I’m Not In A Relationship With Vector” – Sheyi Shay
Sheyi Shay tells it all about her style and fashion;
Would you rather wear weaves or your natural hair?
Personally, I would opt for a weave. I would rather rock a
weave because it is more versatile than my natural hair. There
are so many hair styles I can do with a weave that I cannot do with my natural hair. I think a person can do more styles with a weave.
Do you have a favourite hairstyle?
I prefer the chin length or short cut. I feel a lot comfortable in
these hairstyles. It also depends on what I am doing at the
moment. Some shoots tend to dictate what I would look like
for a period of time but basically, I like chin length or short
cut.
How long does it usually take you to make your hair?
Well, most times it usually depends on the style. On an
average I would say it takes about two hours to make my hair.
Why is it that recently, more women are cutting their hair
or going for short hairdo?
I think lately more women are cutting their hair or going
shorter because they are becoming more confident with their
femininity and it is also a brave fashion statement.
Can you for any reason shave your hair and be
comfortable with it?
I could never shave my head. I would not feel comfortable
and I am not that confident.
Can we ever catch you without make-up?
I prefer looking natural. It feels so good to be natural. Also,
it's nice to let your skin breathe but because of the nature of
my business, I have to put on make-up
sometimes.
Would you rather buy a Nigerian designer's cloth or a
foreign designer's?
In my view, I think Nigerian designers are doing a great job.
There are a lot of creative Nigerian designers. These days, I
find myself buying and wearing more of Nigerian designers. I
think it is amazing to support our own. I always wear
Nigerian designers. I prefer our creativity and uniqueness.
Is there really a difference between fashion and style?
Fashion is what everyone follows. Style is more personal.
Fashion trends come and go but a person's style sticks except
when he or she wants to try something new, something
different.
What influences your fashion trend?
I really love classic pieces. I most especially love styles from
the 20's, 40's, 80's. Also, the French vogue is one of my
favourites.
What is that fashion item you can't leave home without?
I must always have a pair of heels in my car. Heels change
your posture and you can wear them with everything. They
come in very handy. Apparently, shoes must be your
weakness… Without thinking twice I would say I love shoes.
That is my fashion weakness. I own so many perfumes and
countless pairs of shoes and some more I would never wear
again but can't let go of.
How much did your most expensive heels cost?
My most expensive heels cost a lot.
How is it competing with men in the industry?
There are more men in the industry than the women and the
men get to experiment more. We women have to be very
careful the way we portray ourselves because of our culture.
Being in a predominantly male industry is hard. As a female,
I need to work harder everything including shows. But I never
really get intimidated. I respect everyone's workmanship and
I learn also.
Would you say the industry is fair to female artistes?
The industry should give female artistes more shows and
more money for their workmanship. That said, I actually think
it is getting better.
Don't you think your celebrity status scare men away
from you?
It's a double edge sword. I get people just sending me
messages that they love me. I appreciate all the love from the
fans; their support keep me going.
Are you in a relationship with the rap artiste Vector?
No. We are not in a relationship.
So where did the rumours come from?
I'm not in a relationship with Vector. The rumour may have
come from our performance together at this year's
Felabration. We ended our set with a friendly hug and people
thought there was something more.
Do you find him at least attractive especially his fashion
side?
I think he has a nice dress sense. I'm not attracted to him.
What fashion item do you admire on a man?
I admire men who wear good shoes and a well tailored suit.
What is your take on cleavage exposure and ladies
wearing skimpy dresses?
My advice is that you should just make sure you wear it and
it does not wear you. Think about that for a minute. People
should admire the dress on you and not the other way round
or people admiring only the dress.
How do you maintain your voice?
I make a conscious effort not to shout. Also, I drink a lot of
water and I sing everyday as a form of voice exercise.
Who shopped for you when you were growing up?
My mother did all the shopping for me when I was growing.
She rarely got my taste though.
Why did you leave the UK for Nigeria to start music?
The challenge attracted me. The fertility in the industry was
and is more promising than anywhere else in the world right
now.
People are of the opinion that you are copying the likes of
Beyonce and Tiwa Savage, what do you have to say to
that?
They are both very different so who exactly am I copying?
The whole world is influenced by Beyonce. So that's unfair.
Beyonce is an inspiration to us all.
What are you currently working on?
I am working on my Ragga Ragga video, my album and
further build the Seyi Shay brand.
When performing during shows, how do you come up with
the costumes you use?
My stylist and I usually talk about style and image before
every event.
What are the gains and pains of being famous?
The gains and pains include people appreciating my work in
different ways, travelling round the world and doing what I
love. On the other side, it is a very lonely journey and many
sacrifices are made to get to the desired destination.
Would you say you stand-out with your fashion sense
compared to other ladies in the industry?
I hope I stand out with my fashion sense.
What would you say? When stepping out for an event,
what are the things you consider?
I try to avoid being over dressed for any event. I always take
a last look in the mirror and then, take off an accessory.
How did this whole music thing start?
Music, singing, performing for me started back in the UK,
when I was part of my school gospel choir.
How were you able to adapt when you came back to
Nigeria?
Settling back in the country was really a piece of cake. I have
lived here before and my mother brought me to Lagos every
year since I was two years
old. I am home and there is no place like it.

Policeman drags wife to court over fetish substances
'A' Customary Court that he saw a bag full of fetish
substances in the wardrobe of his wife, Mrs. Risikat
Egbedokun, who did not give him peace of mind. "One day, I
went into her wardrobe and I saw a bag full of fetish
substances. When I asked her who owned them, she begged
me not to tell anybody", the husband said.
"Since that day, I stopped loving her." Folorunso informed the
court that Risikat said that her mother procured the fetish
items for her. He also said the wife always rained curses on
him. The husband therefore urged the court to dissolve the
marriage, and grant him the custody of the children for proper
care. In her defence, Risikat, who did not want to divorce her
husband, said Folorunso deflowered her.
The woman said his husband drinks every time he receives his
salary. "So, he abandons his responsibility as a father, and
drinks around town," she said. "His sister wants me to leave
my husband's house and rent a house in the neighbourhood,
but I still love my husband". Meanwhile, the court president,
Mr. Shokunle, adjourned the case for further hearing and
warned the couple to maintain the peace.

Photo: My Jobless Boyfriend Smashed The Car I Won On Nigeria Idols
Idols television show. In a chat with Saturday Beats, the
songstress said that ever since the show ended it has not been
a bed of roses for her. The up and coming singer said she
would not forget in a hurry how a jealous lover smashed the
windscreen of the car she won at the reality television show.
"After having a minor accident with the new car I won
from the show, a jealous lover smashed the windscreen so
badly and as a result it was a whole new type of challenge,
trying to get it fixed, bringing the person to book... but I
overcame."
She also said that some friends had been breathing down her
neck saying she doesn't care about them anymore after all the
money they spent voting for her while on the Nigerian Idol
show.
"I tried to act the same, maintain my old phone numbers of
about eight years, tried to keep in touch with all my friends
even though it was honestly difficult to keep up. I kept getting
Watsapp, sms, Facebook and all kinds of messages from some
particular friends with words like 'what are you feeling like?
Is it because you are now a superstar or what?' Some would
even say 'Debie, you have changed, you can't even call me
after all the money I spent voting for you.'
"It really got to me then and I used all my time and resources
to try and make all of them see reasons and all, but then they
just didn't stop, so I decided to do my best and leave the rest.
But I want to use this opportunity to tell them that I didn't
change one bit, but someday, they will understand. That was
one challenge I had also. The important thing is not the
gravity of the challenge but how to come out strong, and I
must say, I am wiser, stronger and better," she added.

I escaped being used for money ritual by my husband – Wife
Customary Court that her husband, Ayemisan, wanted to use
her for money ritual. According to her, the husband took her
pants to a herbalist in pursuit of the money ritual and also
joined a secret cult. Caroline said they got married 44 years
ago, and have seven grown up children. She said they lived in
harmony until some years ago when their relationship went
sour.
"He said he wanted to be rich at all costs. That is the reason
he joined a secret cult. He actually took my pants to a
herbalist in his attempt to get rich quick", the petitioner told
the court. In his defence, the husband said there was no
trouble between him and the wife until she joined a club of
bad friends and became uncontrollable. The respondent said
he was not ready for divorce and pledged to change his
character. The court president, Mr. Godwin Awosola, said the
court could not force Ayemisan on the wife and, while
adjourning the case, warned the couple to maintain peace.

joining politics.In an interviewwith Punch, he said he had no
regrets about his marriage
"I don't. I have never regretted that marriage. I have so
many reasons. It is not only because of my son. Without that
marriage, I will not be here today. I see life from a different
perspective now. There are things that are inevitable. So,
many things are bound to happen in life and there is nothing
you can do about it. When such things happen, you have to
face it. You only have to manage it when it happens and from
there, you move ahead. If you don't move ahead from that
situation, you will never go to the next level."
And now that you are back, should these artistes be scared?
We are not on the same level. They are in the river and I
am in the ocean. Let them just do their thing. I am on a
different level. They are making money. That is nice. They
don't disturb me and I don't disturb them either.
