Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has explained why she no longer takes photos with males, both fans and fellow celebrities.
In a series of tweets she wrote on Thursday, Seyi, 35, revealed how some of these males have spun lies about her using the photos as “evidence”. The music star says she became uncomfortable with rumours that followed after taking photos with random people.
“People talk so much about ‘pretty privilege’ but always forget to talk about some of the mess you deal with when you’re pretty. Ask your pretty friends and sisters,” the singer tweeted.
The Nigerian Idol judge revealed in another tweet that many random men have claimed to have slept with her. She wrote, “Should I start mentioning the names of guys who at one point said they slept with Seyi Shay when I’ve never met them in my life? They want to associate with a hot girl so bad at the expense of anything. Insecurity of fuck-boy-rism?”
Seyi Shay wrote, “I’ve taught myself not to pose with random guys (‘fans’) or some famous male figures because what usually follows is rumours that we’re dating. To my hot girls dem, We move!! #Pempe , every hot girls anthem, drops at Midnight.”
The Lara and the Beat actress seems committed to protecting her reputation and I think we can all respect that.
