Singer, Seyi Shay was among the entertainers who
performed at the “GEJ Meet The Youth Forum” event in
Lagos and the pretty diva ‘broke’ the internet with the
dress she wore to meet the president at the event.
The photo of the singer wearing an incredibly short
dress, while sitting beside the president , went viral and
so many fans and foes have expressed their feelings
concerning Seyi’s outfit.
In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, Sheyi Shay
said she wasn’t trying to seduce the president .
In her words:
“I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in
any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I
wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my
performance and the other was worn after I performed.
The dress I was pictured in with the President was what
I wore during my performance.
“I came on stage and greeted everyone according to
their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He
was impressed and he asked where and how I knew
how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it.
That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in
the picture. I’m a performer and what I do on stage
doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on
that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn’t feel
overwhelmed meeting the President ? Well, I did and I
felt honoured because it is not every day you get to
meet the president of your country.”
