Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has opened up about the reasons behind her four-year hiatus from the music industry, describing it as a period dedicated to self-discovery and personal transformation.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Shay explained that the break was an intentional decision to step back from the spotlight and focus on reconnecting with herself on a deeper level, both mentally and spiritually.
She described this period as one of the most profound in her life, emphasizing that the journey of transformation began even before she became a mother. Shay highlighted the value of isolation, calling it a “gift” that allowed her to look inward and gain clarity about her life and career.
She stated, “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. There is something really good about isolation… I was blessed with hindsight, insight, and foresight, and I think that is the biggest gift besides my daughter that God has given me these few years.”
This period of introspection not only deepened her spirituality but also transformed her perspective on life and relationships. She added, “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.”
