Seyi Shay opens up on isolation from music industry for four years

Singer Seyi Shay has disclosed the reasons behind her four-year isolation, claiming a desire to reflect on her life and personal growth.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo on Thursday, the singer stated that the isolation allowed her to work on a different level and changed her vision of men.

The interview is one of Seyi Shay’s first in-depth public thoughts in years, giving her fans and the general public a better understanding of why she stepped back and what she learnt in the process.

“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, but I know some people say it is not good, but one thing for me is that I was blessed with hindsight and I could just reflect and I was also blessed with insight which in turn, gave me foresight and I think that is the biggest gift beside my daughter that God has given me these few years that I have been away.

“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 is a man’s world,” she said.

She, however, revealed why she is not married to the father of her daughter, despite maintaining a close and respectful relationship with him.

She said, “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.”
