"I Exposed My Body And I Was Paid Very Handsomely For The Job"- Adokiye

Up until early this year when she posed semi-nude for a New York-based magazine, Adokiye Kyrian Yvonne a.k.a Adokiye used to be relatively unknown in the nation's music scene.
But immediately after that controversial posture, the sexy singer has become one of the hottest rising female singers in the country. In a recent interview, she speaks on the raunchy photo spread among other issues.

Excerpts:

EARLY THIS YEAR, YOU POSED SEMI-NUDE IN A NEW YORK BASED MAGAZINE. WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION?

It actually got leaked. I did some modelling jobs while I was in New York and at that point in time, some pictures leaked while the process was still going on. Yes I posed for some shots, but I never really posed nude. I didn't expose my private part as a woman. That I exposed my skin doesn't mean I posed nude. I am an architect by training and creativity is part of my daily routine. So I didn't pose nude because I didn't expose my private part.


WE LEARNT YOU WERE PAID HANDSOMELY FOR THE JOB?

Officially, I was paid the sum of $200,000 and a G Wagon Mercedes Benz car for the photo spread in the magazine.


DO YOU EVER REGRET POSING NUDE?

I have never for once regretted anything I have done in the past. But at the end of the day, I just want people to believe in me that I have got a lot to offer my fans.


WERE YOUR PARENTS PLEASED WHEN THEY SAW YOUR NUDE PICTURES?

My parents are highly understanding people. They know the kind of daughter they have and they also know that whatever I'm doing today doesn't affect me both psychologically and physically. So they always support me in anything I'm doing.


WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN NEW YORK?

New York is like a second home to me. I travel to New York once in a while.


THERE WAS A RUMOR THAT YOU WERE DATING W4. IS IT TRUE?

No, we were never in a relationship. But we are just friends and he was a colleague too.
