Nigerian singer Waje has shared candidly about her past struggles with body image and insecurity, revealing how she faced these challenges and ultimately learned to overcome them.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Her Next Chapter podcast hosted by Tope Olowoniyan, the 44-year-old disclosed that she used to wear multiple bras at the same time in her 20s because she was insecure about her endowment.
“Even before I had my child, I have always been heavy at the top. I used to hid it. In my 20s, I used to wear like three bras. I used to be very uncomfortable about how heavy I was at the top,” she said.
The music star explained that with time, she grew more confident and stopped being insecure about her body.
She added that becoming a mother also changed how she viewed her body.
Waje credited some of her friends including rapper M.I and professional dancer Kaffy for boosting her self-confidence, and making her to grow thick skin to negative comments.
