Ques: Have you ever fallen because of men-promoters, male musicians, venue owners and fans, as most of them battle to have sex with beautiful dancers like you. Are you ready to be in that environment?
Answer: Well, I am a principled lady with my own goals to achieve in this industry. I am quite aware of the challenges female artists face, especially dancers, some club owners, once gave me a torrid time but I could not bow to their demands.
I would rather stay at home than give away my body for a show, as with the case with some top dancers whom I can’t name for professional reasons. As for musicians, they treat you the way you want them to recognize you, if you show them professionalism, they won’t take you for granted, in my case, I have never come across musicians proposing love to me in return for s_exual favours, because I hold myself with great esteem.
In short, I am more than ready to be in this industry. And I am determined to conquer. I will also seek advice from right people at the right time.
Ques: How is your love life, are you married, are you in a relationship, does the partner approve of dancing or music?
Answer: I am single, but in a steady relationship. We have been dating for two years now. And my man is very supportive and gives me advice on many things in my career.
Ques: Do you have any kids and if any what happened to the relationship?
Answer: No, I don’t have any, I will only have mine when I get married, if God permits.
Ques: Where do you stay and with who?
Answer: I stay in Avondale with my sister.
Ques: Have you become popular after the Eriza video how are your handling the rise in popularity?
Answer: I have become very popular and I attract hordes of fans during my live shows. It’s magic to say the least. Since I was putting on a school uniform some can hardly recognize me in the streets.
However, I do encounter problems when one recognizes me without a school uniform. I have never changed my behavior and I have time for people, especially those asking me for selfies. I still respect my fans despite the popularity that I have gained, I am still as humble as before.
