Oh Charlie, poor Seyi!
Despite
her ah-mazing looking hair, R&B/Pop singer, Seyi Shay’s black
Chanel sheer dress which exposed her equally black Rebel pair of
lingerie at the Channel O music and video awards on Saturday, has turned
off peeps – including movie critic and producer Charles Novia.
The
movie director cum writer and blogger, who is known for speaking out
his candid mind on issues, described the “murda” singer as a talented
lady who built up her career with her beautiful voice, only to veer off
into a bad girl.
He tweeted “She said she wants murder and dressed
like that? She got her wish Nonsense and ingredients! Lame thinking for
a lame career. You build a ‘sweetheart brand’ which visibly competes
with a better rival and then veer off…Let me be frank: that Bad Girl/Boy
image never works. You get the lunatic fringe crowd edging you on and
then they switch to the next one. You wey dey don form Bad Girl/Boy
becomes limp and laggard. You become useless to the present order.
That’s how it goes. It’s what it is.”
He further hit the nail on
the head saying “Yemi Alade, Asa, Omawunmi, Waje didn’t need to be near
naked to be on top. They were judged on their TALENT and made it.
Commendable. Let your talent speak for you always. If you don’t have it,
nothing can force anyone to accept it. This business thrives on talent
not tart.”
The “Murda them” crooner has chosen to pay deaf ears to the complaints though.
