I was scorned when I got pregnant –Waje





Soul and pop singer, Waje, is certainly one of the babes of
the moment in today’s entertainment industry in Nigeria.
Now that her colleagues, including her best friend forever,
Omawunmi and of course, Tiwa Savage, have clinched a
man and even on a nine months course at the moment,
Waje said her time would certainly come soon.
Speaking exclusively to Saturday Beats recently during her
album listening party in Lagos, the singer said, “There is a
man in my life and very soon, you would hear all about it.”
But then, no matter how much she tries to hide the man in
her life at the moment, Waje is so open about her 16-year-
old daughter. Now that she could freely talk about being a
single mother, Waje said it wasn’t that easy when she was
pregnant with her daughter at the age of 18.
Since she got pregnant at such a young age, one would
easily surmise that the actress could have been a ‘bad girl’
when she was young.
But then, she told Saturday Beats that she was “very
naive.”
“I will not lie to you, I didn’t know anything. I was just a
young girl. I was so naive and innocent. It wasn’t easy in
those days. I was laughed at. I was given a nickname. I will
not tell you the nickname. But the truth is that I was
scorned.”
But no matter the challenges she faced, Waje said she
would be grateful to her mother who saw her through the
trying period.
“My mother is a mother. She is a true mother. I don’t know
what I would have done without her. She stood by me. She
never discouraged me. I tapped from her strength. It was
her strength that carried me on all through those years,”
she said.
Those trying days are over and now, Waje has become a
big name in the industry. But the babe never believed that
she could get to the height she has reached in the industry
at the moment.
“If anybody had told me I would be this popular, I would
have told the person to keep his prophecy. I am indeed
grateful. It has been God all the way and also, I cannot take
away the fact that I have worked so hard to get to where I
am today. It is not yet over though. I still have more to do,”
