Last month, fast-rising dancehall artiste under Jude Okoye’s North Side
Entertainment Cynthia Ikponmwenosa Morgan released raunchy promo photos
of herself. A lot of Nigerians blasted her for them but Cynthia, in this
new engaging interview with Vanguard, says she doesn't care. That when
people dare to bully her about the photos, she definitely
retaliates. According to her, this is business and she has to do what
she has to do to sell. Excerpts:
- What inspired your recent raunchy photo shoots ?
We are in 21st century and Nigeria is not like America. We still have this mentality of ‘Oh my God, she is exposing a whole lot of stuffs’ but when American artistes do it, we get to embrace them. I think it’s all about you starting your own trend, people will definitely talk, some people will love it
while some will hate it .It’s all about you knowing what you see as an artiste.
When I create a song , I can actually create the video in my head. So, it’s all about the craft and the branding. I wasn’t actually nude, I was wearing a tattoo and a pair of snickers. It’s just about being different and people are definitely going to talk. It’s part of the whole business. If they don’t talk, you don’t make money. So they just have to keep talking.
- So, how do you react to negative comments about you on the social media?
If you bully me, I bully back. That’s how it is. There are some people who go online trying to just make you feel bad about yourself and about your music but as an artiste, you just have to be very prepared .It happens all over the world even in America. I am a bully too. You bully me, if I am in the mood, I bully you back. That’s how it works.
- Can you go nude in a music video if the concept warrants it?
- Does that mean you will do it?
- What are your favourite qualities in a man?
For me, he has to be rich. There just has to be a connection between the
both of us. He has to be fond of me, we have to be compartible. He has
to have a good sense of humour and must be presentable.
- Can you tell us about your physical assets, what you consider as the sexiest part of your body?
- There is an allegation that you are using Dencia's Whitenicious .
- Who is your celebrity crush?
- What if he asks you out and says he loves you?
