Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has opened up about her four-year break from the spotlight, revealing that the time away was devoted to reflection, healing, and spiritual renewal.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the award-winning artist said her decision to step back from public life allowed her to reset her mindset and gain clarity about her purpose, relationships, and personal growth.
“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… I could just reflect and was also blessed with insight which in turn gave me foresight,” she said.
During her time away, Seyi Shay welcomed her daughter an experience she described as life-changing, reshaping her spirituality and outlook on life.
“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’s a man’s world,” she added.
Addressing her relationship with her daughter’s father, the singer explained that while they are not married, they maintain a healthy and respectful partnership.
“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,” she said.
