Seyi Shay Speaks On The Controversial Dress She Wore To Meet With GEJ

Singer Seyi Shay says she had no intention of
seducing the president when she wore the
short dress to sing and greet the President at
the MeetThePresident Youth event in Lagos
last Saturday.
“I am a very respectable young lady and I
was not in any way trying to seduce the
President with the outfit I wore. I had two
outfits for the event, one was for my
performance and the other was worn after I
performed.
The dress I was pictured in with the
President was what I wore during my
performance.
I came on stage and greeted everyone
according to their culture and I did the same
for Mr. President. He was impressed and he
asked where and how I knew how to greet in
his native dialect and I said I learnt it.
That was what brought about the giggling
and smiles in the picture.
I’m a performer and what I do on stage
doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two
outfits on that day and it was a youth event.
Who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed meeting the
President? Well, I did and I felt honoured
because it is not every day you get to meet
the president of your country,” she told
Punch.
