posed semi-nude for a New York
based magazine, Adokiye Kyrian
Yvonne a.k.a Adokiye is relatively
unknown in the nation's music
scene. But immediately after that
controversial posture, the sexy
singer has become one of the
hottest rising female singers in
the country. Our reporter caught
up with her recently in Lagos,
where she speaks on the raunchy
photo spread among other
issues.
How did you delve into music ?
During my university days, I was a
member of a minor musical group
called the "MASE" comprising of four
young talents. We used the first
alphabet of their names to coin out
the name, "MASE". My exploits with
the group helped to expose me as
well as sharpen my musical skills to a
great extent.
Music for me is something I've
always wanted to do. I just wanted
the right time to get into it and I
believe this is the right time.
Early this year, you posed semi-
nude in a New York based
magazine. What was the
attraction?
It actually got leaked. I did some
modelling jobs while I was in New
York and at that point in time, some
pictures leaked while the process
was still going on. Yes, I posed for
some shots, but I never really posed
nude. I didn't expose my private part
as a woman. That I exposed my skin
doesn't mean I posed nude. I am an
architect by training and creativity is
part of my daily routine. So, I didn't
pose nude because I didn't expose
my private part.
We learnt, you were paid
handsomely for the job?
Officially, I was paid the sum of $
200,000 and a G Wagon Mercedes
Benz car for the photo spread in the
magazine.
Do you ever regret posing nude?
I have never for once regretted
anything I have done in the past. But
at the end of the day, I just want
people to believe in me that I have
got a lot to offer to my fans.
Were your parents pleased when
they saw your nude pictures?
My parents are highly understanding
people. They know the kind of
daughter they have and they also
know that whatever I'm doing today
doesn't affect me both
psychologically and physically. So,
they always support me in anything
I'm doing.
What were you doing in New
York?
New York is like a second home to
me. I travel to New York once in a
while.
What does music mean to you?
Music means everything to me. They
say music breathes life into any
troubled soul but I breathe life into
music. It's an integral part of me,
music is something that when I'm
sleeping I am either singing or
dancing.
There was this rumour that you
were dating W4. Is it true?
No, we were never in any
relationship. But we were just
friends and he was a colleague too
