"If the change will come, the change will come from you."

"If you've realized I've kept my relationships secret. When (the relationship doesn't work out) and I cry at home it's me, my sisters and my parents that know I'm crying, that's it."

"I don't necessarily need a man with a mansion full of money, I need a man with focus...a great husband is somebody who is hardworking, a man with focus and a man who is respectful who can make me laugh."

"On the other hand, society does not see anything wrong with a man who has more relationships, they are viewed as champions while we (women) are called names so I am zipping my mouth now."

"A good number of celebs are single because they are confused as to who to accept in their life. You see, you are not sure if the person is coming in because of your fame and money or the person wants to be with you because of real love."

"The issue is men don't have balls to come forward to ask me out because they think I am already hooked or perhaps I am very high maintenance. Also, I may still be single because most people think celebrities are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing partners but that is a very wrong perception."

"We have come to accept certain things- which are our colour, how we look- and in a way we don't let people dictate who we are and what one should be. It is now not about how you look but the kind of story you are telling. The content we sell to people is changing."

"I always say I am African and it doesn't matter where I am from. The important thing is that, I am here and I am doing what I have to do."

"I had the opportunity to be her (Yvonne) friend for two years straight. And the "Letter to Yvonne Okoro" song is just me being creative. Lots of people write songs for people they like, I thought I will just do same."

"When I had the opportunity to be her (Yvonne) friend for two years, I realized she was a good person and at some point in time, I think I did some things that were wrong and I see nothing wrong with me coming out to write a song saying I'm sorry. That was special to me. She was a special friend to me."
