Asa has bared it all in a recent interview.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Multi-award-winning singer, Bukola Elemide, otherwise known as\u00a0Asa<\/a>, says she had to convince her family that she rose to the top of her career by sheer dint of hard work because of the perception held by many that female artistes, who rise to the top of their careers must have slept around.<\/p>\n

Speaking with CNN\u2019s\u00a0Zain Asher at the\u00a0Access Bank International Women\u2019s Day\u00a0conference in Lagos, she said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn Paris, I don\u2019t think about gender. (Rather), I have to fight being from Nigeria. Gender is not a problem. In Nigeria, I have to fight (for my) gender.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The sensational artiste, who recently released her fifth album titled\u00a0V,\u00a0also noted that her gender had a profound effect on her behaviour in the early days of her career.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was very aware of my femininity, so when I went into studios, I usually wore baggy clothing because I did not want to accentuate the fact that I was female. I did not want to bring attention to myself; I just wanted to do my job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Asa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Asa, those (fashion) choices led men to question her sexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSome men would comment, \u2018Are you even a woman? What\u2019s wrong with you\u2019?<\/span><\/p>\n

People think if one is a female artiste, one is sleeping around, so I had to prove that to family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She also maintained that women (in the industry) still do not get equal opportunities (with their male colleagues). She added:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI want to see women selling whiskey and being ambassadors for such brands. I do enjoy an occasional whiskey, so why shouldn\u2019t I be a brand ambassador for that? Why should it always be males? Women enjoy those things (too).<\/span><\/p>\n

(However), I think we can find a balance. Nobody is saying with the new wave of feminism, (women) have to be on top. I am just saying we could be equal and respect one another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Asa also stated that she struggled with her parents\u2019 attitude to her upbringing, particularly her disciplinarian father. Asa said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt was a bootcamp at home. He made us eat beans for a year, and insisted on the home help putting weevils (on), sprinkling them as protein.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She also stated that she was constantly groomed to be a wife from when she was a child. She said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOne has to learn how to cook for one\u2019s husband. One has to be sweet for one\u2019s husband, and I was like, \u2018Am I going to do all this for one person? And I don\u2019t even know who the person is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Against the backdrop of the 2023 elections, Nollywood actor and media personality, Akah Nnani is not mincing words in calling out fellow celebrities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The actor has stated that anyone who prays or sings at a political event has automatically endorsed the candidate. Read details here <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
