Imo state born singer, Adokiye Kyrian created a media storm years back when she disclosed that she was a virgin. The architect turned singer who gets her male fans drooling as a result of her sensuality, in this interview with TheNewsGuru opens up on her music career, her hyped virginity, amongst other issues.
Why did you feature Oritsefemi in your song, Jombolo?
Oritsefemi had the right juice and sauce for the song. He is so talented and inspiring, so I decided to collaborate with him on the song.
You are a multi- talented damsel, of all your talents which one pays the bills more?
Designing buildings used to pay my bills in time past, but I would say music now pays me. I’m moving in God’s speed, It’s surely paying off.I can feel it.
Are you where you want to be musically?
I am not where I want to be, but I am not where I used to be. So there is progress, a massive one at that. I thank God
Are you satisfied with how far you have come?
Oh well, for someone who is working hard and striving to be better, I am most grateful to God for how far I have come but not satisfied because satisfaction and comfort kill ambition.
What is the greatest misconception about you?
A lot of people think I am prideful and don’t relate to people, but when they come close, the reverse tends to be the case
What is the greatest sacrifice you have made for your music career?
Oh well, I have sacrificed a lot. I have sacrificed my first professional career as an architect for my music career. I have sacrificed my sex life also, by staying away from sex or having anything to do with sex
How do you cope without sex?
It’s just a sacrifice that has to do with so much perseverance and discipline. Like I said, it’s not easy at all. It has to do with so much discipline.As a grown woman, I feel some type way but I just snap out, after a long thought.
Have you ever come close to losing your virginity?
I have never come close to losing it, not even once. Sometimes I get vexed, pressured and depressed but when I think of how far I have come! My brother, I get a grip back and snap out.
Do you subscribe to the usage of sex toys?
I cannot be using sex toys and still be intact down there.
So why did you decide to keep your virginity when others are losing theirs. Is it a covenant with God or just a personal decision?
It’s safe to call it a self -covenant. I just feel that there has to be a price for fame and fortune. The truth is, something must be sacrificed. You see a lot of successful men and women around being single, sometimes it’s not like they want to be that way, but it just happened to be the certain price they had to pay, to be that way and in the long run would look as if they have taken the wrong step. Everything has got its own Price! Be it good or bad.
What will you say to people like me who doubt If you are a virgin because of the way you dress?
But you do know I’m an artiste. How I address as an entertainer is a reflection of my kind of occupation, it comes with the job. Anything I have to do to enhance my creativity, I would do it gladly.I have not and will never claim to be more Catholic than the Pope or act holier than thou. I am an artiste and an entertainer. If I wanted to be wearing hijab, or suit I would probably be in the office working or in the banking sector
Why do you love talking about your virginity?
I love talking about it because I feel someone out there needs to be encouraged for believing or holding on to their convictions.It’s definitely not because I am the best role model or Christian.
How do you handle sexual advances from fans and colleagues?
I love my fans and colleagues so much and I always make them understand my resolve in the best way and in a polite manner I know and understand
What is the weirdest thing a fan has ever done to you?
A fan once saw me in a public place and rushed to hug me.He also struggled to touch my boobs.I had to dodge that. After dodging, I had to walk away but trust me, it was quite embarrassing and weird I must say
What makes you cry?
I cry when I talk to God
Do you consider yourself as a sex symbol?
I don’t think I am a sex symbol. I can be seen as a sexy cute lady, who has got so much to offer to the world
What does sex mean to you ?
I can’t categorically say much about it.But I do know sex is sweeter when it’s done within the confines of marriage
