Even though she didn’t win big like Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay
was the centre of attention at this year’s All Africa Music Awards after
falling on stage while performing.While speaking with Sunday Scoop, the singer said she was so bitter with everyone when she went backstage.
She said, “At backstage, I was blaming everyone. I blamed my stylist,
the designer, and my manager. I even blamed the stage. But the truth is
that what is meant to be will be. I think with every lesson, there is a
blessing.
“I knew that when I got off the stage and opened my phone, there would
be so much talk about my fall. Like I expected, by the time I got to my
room, Instablog9ja already had 40,000 views.”
According to her, the AFRIMA’s experience was the first time she would be experiencing such an embarrassing moment.
“You know everybody has a first time. Wizkid, Davido and even Beyonce
have suffered similar fate in the past. She fell from the stage. Rihanna
and Jennifer Lopez have fallen on stage as well.
“So, when you think about all these stars and their experiences, you
will realise that you are not different from them and you are not immune
to mistakes as well. I see my fall as a very humbling moment of my
life,” she added.
Immediately she left the Eko Hotel and Suites venue of AFRIMA, she went
to the studio with her manager and Klem, the songwriter who wrote ‘Yolo
Yolo’, to make a song.
She stated, “The title of my new song is The Fall, and it has to do with
the AFRIMA’s experience. I plan to drop the song next month. Sometimes,
when misfortune happens, you have to look at the positive side and all
the opportunities in it to turn the misfortune into fortune. That’s what
we are doing right now.”
She wondered how she picked herself up after she fell, saying she was
just conscious of the fact that it was a live show and she couldn’t let
Nigerians down.
“I guess the fall just brought out the best in me. It made me realise
that I wasn’t invincible. Since I knew that it was a live show, watched
by everyone across the globe, I couldn’t embarrass my country. I had no
choice but to get up and finish the show.
“It was the dress I wore that caused the fall, but most people didn’t
know that. I stepped on it and the material dragged me down. I will be
100 per cent careful when considering my costume going forward,” she
noted.
