Waje Covers Vibe.ng

Waje is the vivacious cover star for Vibe.ng‘s newest edition. The Voice Nigeria host and singer looked superb in different gorgeous ensembles for the fashion spread and also takes us into her world of music, fashion, being a mother and more. Read excerpts from her interview:

About her self-esteem, she said:
‘Nobody can be having superiority complex around me o! My melanin is popping. I feel that we owe it to ourselves to teach women that being comfortable in your own skin is the sexiest thing. It took a while but I am supremely confident. I am the royal highness of my own body. Imagine if I had known I was beautiful and been comfortable in myself for all these years. We need to teach young girls that every shade is beautiful. You can admire and appreciate someone else’s beauty but you will always be you.’

Speaking on how her daughter, Emerald has managed her inherited fame, Waje says:
‘She’s doing a great job. We tone it down so my household is very regular and my job is just like any other job. In reality, I teach her that life is about what you bring to the table. She’s very understanding, partly because the rest of my family doesn’t send (laughs). Whether you’re Waje or you’re not Waje, they can still send you message and don’t treat you any differently.‘

Waje is quite relieved that Emerald’s strengths are not focused on music:
‘She’s very creative and she understands social media very well. She actually manages my Instagram page and runs an outfit called The Curative that helps other people organize their pages. I can be a bit disorganized and she’s very prim and proper so she gets me together (laughs). One thing that I know that she can do is dance. She’s a great dancer but, as far as music, that’s not her forte.’
