But what the Irawo crooner cannot look upon with a smirk
is a shelf full of awards. At least, this year hasn’t been
particularly a trophy-laden year, even though she has just
clinched an endorsement deal with Pepsi.
“I think I deserve what I am getting right now. Everything I
have achieved is so much more than what a trophy can
basically give me. I feel my time is now” she said, in an
interview to explain why not having many awards coming
her way means to her.
For her fans who are confused about the title of her
album, she says her alter ego will be discovered in the
album. “You will discover who my alter ego is in my
album. You will discover why I am called Seyi or Shay in
the album”.
The album offers 19 tracks and features a host of other
top Nigerian acts, including Femi Kuti, Wizkid, Phyno,
Olamide, D’banj, Banky Wand, many others.
