BN Exclusive: Nigerian Music Star Seyi Shay is the Girl Next Door! See Her Bright New Promo Shots
Seyi Shay, in the past few months, has gone from rising starlet on the Nigerian scene to one of our most beloved music divas. Literally, I was bursting with excitement the moment I heard she had a new promo shoot.
From show to show, she has thrilled fans with her hit singles, “No Lele”, “Loving Your Way” & “Irawo” and even had starring roles in popular music videos like Efa‘s “Over You” and Ajebutter 22‘s “Omo Pastor”. But now, it’s her time to shine.
With her “Irawo” music video just around the corner (check out the Behind the scenes footage below), the stellar songstress is here to tease us with sassy new promo shots from her recent New York photo shoot.

Fantastic! This is what I call good art direction and styling. It’s edgy, but we can still relate to it. Totally see this net gele she is wearing catching on, and gosh, this is great in many ways. Kudos to Bukola Are.

Dear BN, forgive me but I have to address this misnomer of a headline you’ve just put up here. Where is the “girl next door” concept in these photos? Because, as talented as Seyi appears to be musically, she’s just usually scantily dressed and I would label her as being next to nekkid in a number of those photos. Or how else does one explain the tying of transparent chiffon on top pant? With a lacy see through top?
Biko, just call the photos sexy, let’s know what to expect when we click on the post. I can’t with all these misleading captions you guys seem to be publishing lately.

@Mz socially awkward, just as Bella is not exactly correct when they say She is the girl next door, buh u cant just deny that she does ooze subtility and calmness in those photos, even if those pics were somewat sexy, she is still a girl next door, its not always about the costume/apparel but the personality.

I’m sure Onos was “bursting with excitement”. He wanted to see Seyi Shay in micro-mini (which is what she stays in), LOL.
That said, this is a nice shoot. I do like Seyi Shay and I think she has talent.

May 21, 2013 at 2:35 pm
nice photos though and she is pretty, not a fan of her style but her voice is great. I was dissappointed with the video of Loving your way cos it didnt relate to the song..i mean there was no old papa youngi in that video. That said I’m with Mz S Awkward on this one BN has had the most misleading headlines of late – there is nothing girl next door about this photoshoot or Seyi Shay.

i think seyi shay will fade away if she doesn’t reorganize her career and her image. she has a nice voice, but she needs to clean up herself and wear sensible clothes. she always looks tacky, from her makeup to her clothes.

I like the scarf thing. What fabric is that? Looks like chiffon

May 21, 2013 at 5:39 pm
That scarf inspired wrapper is uber sexy!. Who knew traditional attires could be that sexy ?. Seyi Shay is beautiful. She needed this shoot cos heaven knows the pictures of her floating the web are not flattering at all.

Enough of these photo shoots.
If you are a singer, we want to know you for your songs and stage craft.
If you are an actor, we want to know you for how well you interpret roles and the kind of flicks you choose to stare in.
Enough of these objectification of womanhood by the women themselves. E don do.
