Over the weekend, BellaNaija had a chat with the star about the newly remixed track for “Forever” featuring Omah Lay.

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.
