I Used To Wear Three Bras In The Past – Waje

Nigerian singer Aituaje Vivian Ebele Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has spoken about how she struggled with body positivity in the past.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Her Next Chapter podcast hosted by Tope Olowoniyan, the singer stated that she had insecurity over her physique but eventually overcame it.

The 44-year-old disclosed that she used to wear multiple bras at the same time in her 20s because she was insecure about her endowment.

“Even before I had my child, I have always been heavy at the top. I used to hid it. In my 20s, I used to wear like three bras. I used to be very uncomfortable about how heavy I was at the top,” she said.

The music star explained that with time, she grew more confident and stopped being insecure about her body.

She added that becoming a mother also changed how she viewed her body.

Waje credited some of her friends, including rapper M.I and professional dancer Kaffy, for boosting her self-confidence and helping her build a thick skin to negative comments.

Meanwhile, Waje has disclosed that she was the female vocalist on P-Square’s 2007 hit song Do Me, but did not receive any payment for her contribution.

The 45-year-old artiste revealed this during an appearance on the HonestBunch Podcast with Daddy Freeze, where she spoke about her early days in the music industry and how her voice became part of one of P-Square’s biggest songs.

Waje, whose full name is Aituaje Iruobe, said she performed the chorus of the track but was not officially credited or featured on it.

Abia Radio News reports that she recalled moments when she would tell people that the voice on Do Me was hers, yet many doubted her because her name was not mentioned.

The singer first gained public attention after the release of Do Me, which became a nationwide hit.

She, however, was unable to appear in the music video because she did not possess a passport at the time it was filmed.

Do Me was part of P-Square’s third studio album Game Over, which cemented the group’s status as one of Africa’s leading pop acts in the 2000s.

The twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, later separated in 2016 after personal and managerial issues but briefly reunited in 2021 before returning to their solo music paths.
