Bukola Elemide, Nigerian-French vocalist, better known as Asa, has listed some of the most important qualities she’s looking for in a life partner.
In a recent chat with Bolanle Olukanni on Ndani TV, the 38-year old singer revealed that her man must be tall because she wasn’t happy with the fact that her parents were short. She also added he must be “very dark.”
“I am crazy for tall guys. They could be dark. If you are dark, be very dark. Then, it takes me time to think, ‘Does he have a brain?’ If my future man is short, if I ever get married, I won’t complain. I do hope he is not short, because my parents were short and I wasn’t happy about that,” she said.

Asa also disclosed that she started out as a dancer and didn’t think her first album was going to be big.
“I just never trusted people; maybe it was (because) my father told me all the time that ‘you can’t trust people’. I think people just didn’t get me. When I started performing publicly, I didn’t come out as a singer. I came out as a dancer. That thing was inside me saying, ‘Why is your voice like this? Why do you sound like this? Why do you walk like this? Who do you think you are’?
“So, I just went into my world and performed to an imaginary audience. When my first album came out, I did not expect it was going to be that big. I was shy and slightly embarrassed. I thought I was not ready and still needed to do more work,” she added.
