In a recent interview, singer Seyi Shay, who recently released a 12-track album named ‘Big Girl,’ discussed the possibility of collaborating with Tiwa Savage, despite their strained relationship.
“Let the future arrive,” Shay remarked. Our prayers should be directed on living long enough to witness it (the future) in good health. “Light and love.”
Seyi Shay also stated that healthy competition among musicians is a positive thing.

“Honestly, there would always be rivalry between human beings, not only women,” she stated in response to a query concerning artiste rivalry. However, I do not believe that anyone’s progress should ever cause hatred or envy in one’s heart. There’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition now and then, but remember to keep in mind that what’s yours is yours.”
Speaking on what inspired the title of the album, ‘Big Girl’, Shay said, “Growth! I wanted to show everyone the process it took to get here, including all I had been through. I also wanted to remind people, especially women, that one can be a boss of one’s own making.”
Describing her experience making the album, Shay said, “It was nice experiencing new sounds that without my team, I probably wouldn’t have. It was also quite an experience seeing life from the eyes of the common woman and friends.”
On why it took her three years to come up with a new album (her last album was in 2018), she said, “(Being out of the industry for) over three years was not intentional. I have always had plans of dropping music as consistently as any other passionate musician would but life happens. In that period (three years), I went through a lot positively and negatively. I met some great people who helped bring life to a deeper side of me. This project gave birth to all that experience. So, we felt this was the best time to show what the journey has been.”
