Seyi Shay says she wasn’t trying to seduce President Jonathan with her hot dress

Nigerian singer Seyi Shay came under heavy criticism over an outfit she wore to meet with president Jonathan recently.

The 29 year old singer has finally decided to address the issue. She said she wore 2 outfits to the event, 1 to perform and the other, for the usual. She told Punch
“I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my performance and the other was worn after I performed. The dress I was pictured in with the President was what I wore during my performance. I came on stage and greeted everyone according to their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He was impressed and he asked where and how I knew how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it. That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in the picture. I’m a performer and what I do on stage doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed meeting the President? Well, I did and I felt honoured because it is not every day you get to meet the president of your country,”
