Singer Asa has said that she doesn’t hope to get married to a short man because her parents were short which she’s not happy about.
Asa said that her ideal man has to be tall and dark in complexion before she considers if he’s intelligent.

She said, “I am crazy for tall guys. They could be dark. If you are dark, be very dark. Then, it takes me time to think, ‘Does he have a brain?’ If my future man is short, if I ever get married, I won’t complain. I do hope he is not short, because my parents were short and I wasn’t happy about that.”
On the early stages of her music career, Asa said that she didn’t have confidence in her voice.
She said, “I just never trusted people; maybe it was (because) my father told me all the time that ‘you can’t trust people’. I think people just didn’t get me. When I started performing publicly, I didn’t come out as a singer. I came out as a dancer. That thing was inside me saying, ‘Why is your voice like this? Why do you sound like this? Why do you walk like this? Who do you think you are’? So, I just went into my world and performed to an imaginary audience. When my first album came out, I did not expect it was going to be that big. I was shy and slightly embarrassed. I thought I was not ready and still needed to do more work.”
The singer is now delighted that other females have stepped up in the music industry.
“I am glad that more ladies are coming out and doing really awesome work. Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Simi, Teni, Niniola, Tems and others are awesome. Patriarchy makes it hard for women. We need more women and when we have more women, they would be more encouraged,” Asa said.
