Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has opened up about her four-year absence from the music industry.
According to her, the period of isolation was a time for deep reflection, healing, and spiritual growth.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, the music star explained that stepping away helped her reset her mindset and gain clarity about her life, relationships, and purpose.
“I have done so much work over these past four years. The transformation of my mind started before I had my child. I started a journey of isolation. There is something really good about isolation… I could just reflect and was also blessed with insight which in turn gave me foresight,” she said.
Seyi Shay, who welcomed her daughter during her time away, added that both motherhood and solitude reshaped her spirituality and her perspective on men.
“My spirituality has also transformed, and I am vibrating on such a different level now that I actually feel very comfortable with men. I love all the men. It’s a man’s world,” she continued.
She also addressed her relationship with her daughter’s father, noting that while they are not married, they share a healthy bond.
“It’s a technical issue, you understand? But he’s great, he’s cool, he’s around. He’s Nigerian, he’s in the UK at the moment, and he’s also in the music industry on the corporate side of things. We just work together, raising our child, and we are great friends,” she explained.
