Nigerian singer Aituaje Vivian Ebele Iruobe, better known by her stage name, Waje, has opened up about her past struggle with insecurity over her physique and how she eventually overcame it.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Her Next Chapter podcast hosted by Tope Olowoniyan, the 44-year-old disclosed that she used to wear multiple bras at the same time in her 20s because she was insecure about her endowment.
“Even before I had my child, I have always been heavy at the top. I used to hid it. In my 20s, I used to wear like three bras. I used to be very uncomfortable about how heavy I was at the top,” she said.
The music star explained that with time, she grew more confident and stopped being insecure about her body.
She added that becoming a mother also changed how she viewed her body.
Waje credited some of her friends including rapper M.I and professional dancer Kaffy for boosting her self-confidence, and making her to grow thick skin to negative comments.
