Nigerian artist Seyi Shay has disclosed that her four-year absence from the music industry was a deliberate choice aimed at focusing on self-discovery, spiritual development, and personal transformation.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the singer elaborated that this break allowed her to step away from the limelight and reconnect with herself on both mental and spiritual levels.
Shay described this period as one of the most significant times in her life.
She explained that the journey of transformation commenced even before she became a mother, emphasizing that isolation is a “gift” that provided her the opportunity to look within and attain clarity.
“I have accomplished so much work over these past four years. The transformation of my mind started before I welcomed my child. I embarked on a journey of isolation.
There is something truly beneficial about isolation… I was fortunate to gain hindsight, insight, and foresight, and I believe that is the greatest blessing, aside from my daughter, that God has granted me in these years,” she shared.
Seyi Shay remarked that this phase not only enhanced her spirituality but also transformed her perspective on life and relationships.
“My spirituality has evolved, and I am resonating on such a different level now that I genuinely feel comfortable around men. I appreciate all the men. It is a man’s world,” she concluded.
