Singer Seyi Shay has explained why she stayed away from the public for over four years, saying she needed time alone to reflect, grow, and rediscover herself.
Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the music star said the period of isolation helped her find peace and gain a new outlook on life, especially her perception of men.
“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,” she said.
“There is something really good about isolation. I was blessed with hindsight and could reflect, and I was also blessed with insight, which gave me foresight. That, besides my daughter, is the biggest gift God has given me these few years that I’ve been away.”
Seyi Shay added that her spirituality and mindset have evolved, saying she now feels more comfortable around men.
“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.
The singer also revealed that she maintains a good relationship with the father of her daughter, though they are not married.
“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 explained.
The interview marks one of Seyi Shay’s most personal revelations in years, giving fans a glimpse into her life since stepping away from the spotlight.
