Seyi Shay with president Goodluck Jonathan
Last week, on March 1, 2015, celebrities gathered at Eko Hotel to meet with President Jonathan and Seyi Shay was present.
The ‘crazy’ singer
got tongues wagging with the skimpy dress that she wore to meet GEJ
which revealed way too much. It even became a huge joke, saying Seyi was
attempting to seduce the president.
She finally made a statement in an interview with Punch on March 7, 2015 saying:
"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"
