Former beauty queen, Munachi Abii, has said she ventured into rapping because she wanted to stand out.
In an interview with Hip TV, the fair-skinned diva stated that most beauty queens are expected to be singers but she didn’t want to be like everyone else.
“I always wrote music. I had friends in the music industry, so they brought me along. Typically, beauty queens are expected to be singers but I did not want to be like everybody else. I wanted to stand out and rapping was something that stood out. Till date, I have not come across any beauty queen that raps.
According to Munachi, most beauty queens are usually not prepped for what lies ahead.
“Being a beauty queen was very interesting. Unfortunately, I felt like I was thrust into the deep end (too) quick (ly). It is not just about me. I feel it’s a beauty pageant industry thing.
“Beauty pageants never really prepare one for what lies ahead. They just tell one to put oneself together and that’s about it. They tell one that whatever one does, one should make sure one does not disrespect the brand, at least in the first year. There is a whole lot more to it which I had to learn along the way.”
