“I was laughed at…. I was scorned.” – Waje On Being A Teen Mom
In an exclusive interview with Saturday Beats, one of Nigeria’s most sought after pop singer Waje, talks about her experience as a teenage mom.
According to Punch: Since she got pregnant at such a young age, one would easily surmise that the actress could have been a ‘bad girl’ when she was young. But then, she told Saturday Beats that she was “very naive.”
“I will not lie to you, I didn’t know anything. I was just a young girl. I was so naive and innocent. It wasn’t easy in those days. I was laughed at. I was given a nickname. I will not tell you the nickname. But the truth is that I was scorned.”
But no matter the challenges she faced, Waje said she would be grateful to her mother who saw her through the trying period.
“My mother is a mother. She is a true mother. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She stood by me. She never discouraged me. I tapped from her strength. It was her strength that carried me on all through those years,” she said.
Those trying days are over and now, Waje has become a big name in the industry. But the babe never believed that she could get to the height she has reached in the industry at the moment.
“If anybody had told me I would be this popular, I would have told the person to keep his prophecy. I am indeed grateful. It has been God all the way and also, I cannot take away the fact that I have worked so hard to get to where I am today. It is not yet over though. I still have more to do,” she said.
