Waje, 34, spoke to Punch in an interview on June 13, 2015 saying:
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.
She explained that as a teenage girl, being pregnant was difficult and she is glad she is a place where she can be a proud mother. The ‘No be you‘ singer especially thanked her mother who stood by her side during the rough 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.
Fast forward to 16 years later, ‘words are not just enough’ to describe how much she loves being the mother to her beautiful daughter Emerald.
