Here are all the questions she answered during our Twitter chat.
***
How is your experience in Nigeria, being that this is your first time visiting?
Nigeria has been very very welcoming and I’d say I’ve had a good time so far. I’ll want to do it all over again
Do you have a favourite thing about Nigeria already?
Yes, I do!!! The Energy and vibe is good aside the roads in Abuja.
Why Omah Lay for the remix of “Forever”?
When I first thought about the remix, he just popped up and that was because of the nature of his voice and he’s new. It’s just a perfect fit.
What was your reaction when you first heard his verse in the remix?
I was so happy!!! I mean I listen to his songs and for this guy to send the verse back in a couple of hours, that’s something I was never expecting.
How did you feel about the reception for the original song across the continent?
I felt good and proud about myself and my team.
Are we getting a music video soon?
Yesssss! Sooner than you think. It’s coming
Not at all! My Dad is the Legendary Nana Acheampong and I believe he has created a mark in music and done a great job. I feel like I’m on a new road which eventually, god willing, will be a legendary one
Are there other Nigerian artists you’d love to work with?
Yes definitely. Asa is someone that I’d want to be in a studio with making music and all the great talents out there
Which Nigerian song are you feeling at the moment?
Champion by Fireboy DML. If I have to choose two, then I’ll add “Blessed” by Wizkid.
Have you tasted Naija Jollof? If yes, describe it in 3 words!
I was hungry when I had it so I can’t really say much. But I’ll say it’s nice but doesn’t exceed the Ghana Jollof. I couldn’t use three words.
