Nigerian-based singer, songwriter and actress, Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, professionally known as Seyi Shay, has explained why she featured American artiste, Teyana Taylor, in Gimme Love Remix.
Seyi Shay said she featured Taylor in the song because of her personality and style of music.
Speaking in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Seyi Shay said,
“I like her style, music and personality. I saw her perform last year in Atlanta, US, and I asked my managers to get her for me. They contacted her and she obliged. It was pretty easy. She is very pleasant to work with.
“My team In LA refined the second verse of the song for her and she recorded it beautifully. We did not have much time to shoot the video, so it happened pretty quickly in New York soon after.”
On whether the Nigerian government was doing enough for entertainers, the singer said,
“Not really. More can be done for sure.”
Sharing her view on how women were being portrayed in entertainment, she said,
“I think women portray themselves, however, they want to be portrayed.”
