Goldie is in the building.
The controversial ‘Touch my Body’ singer, who is signed to Kennis Music
recently spoke to online radio Zoodrums regarding her image, her
relationships with other artistes in the industry, and even answered
some naughty questions. You’ll enjoy it…
Let me start by asking what is your least favourite séxual position?
I wouldn’t know because I haven’t tried one that I didn’t like yet, so if I did try one that I didn’t like, I would…
So what’s your favourite séx position?
I think I’m very old school…hmmm. The missionary style…
No. That’s wrong. Goldie is not allowed to do it the Missionary style.
I’m not?
You are not. You are Goldie, you
are crazy. You wear all these outlandish out fits and people are
supposed to go like ‘What the hell’ when they look at you.
We are really the timid ones in the end.
Really?
(Laughs) Don’t get the wrong impression…(laughs) Everybody thinks I’m this monster, let people know that I am boring.
You’ve been on the scene for a
few years and then someone, for example, Tiwa Savage, just swoops in.
How does it feel when you go for events and people are all over an
artiste like Tiwa Savage? Do they react more because of the raunchy
séxual image or the pretentious one?
I wouldn’t say Tiwa Savage just swooped in. She’s been someone who has been doing music for a long time …
I mean in the Nigerian system.
You have to understand that music comes
from a long while back. This repertoire is on her profile. If you see
someone that has been signed on Sony Music as a song writer for five
years. Someone who has done competitions, she tried to compete in X
factor and you saw the pain when she was turned down. She just deserves a
break, and besides, she’s a hard worker. She’s talented and a fantastic
person. She was around for my birthday and she was like I’m going to
come and eat jollof rice and she tweeted it ‘Goldie, your rice rocks’.
Tiwa is like the sweetest female artiste. You cannot hate on her. You
have to love her. For all, I think she deserves all she gets.
Are you going to be doing collaborations with her?
We have spoken about it severally, we’re just looking for a subject matter.
What do you think it’s going to sound like?
I don’t know, but we are just looking for a proper subject matter that would be true to me and true to her.
We hear you have a lot of money
and that’s why you have gone so far in the industry. You have got all
these fantastic fashion people…
I don’t think it’s about money. I think
it’s about talent and about people loving your work. There are people
who are rich and have tried singing, but nobody knows who they are, so
it’s not about money.
What would you say about your
relationship with people in the industry? Do you think that has helped
make you a bigger and more successful artiste or a less successful
artiste?
What exactly are you asking?
I’m asking if you have a very good relationship with other artistes in the industry.
Oh yes! I do. I’m very polite with
everybody. Everybody is always polite and we all understand and
appreciate each other and that’s what counts. Unfortunately, I would
love to have more time to spend with people, but I don’t have enough
time. Throughout last year, I think I saw my dad just once. That’s how
little time I have to spend with even my family.
What do you think about D’banj’s recent utterances about the ‘Occupy Nigeria’ protest that went down?
Its unfortunate. You know, what I have
realised is that there are lots of things that are wrong in this country
and lots that are right, but unfortunately, we dwell on the wrong ones.
D’banj interviewed our President when he was campaigning. He had his
view, so did so many. D’banj, in his own way, is trying to satisfy his
conscience. Nobody knows what he is going through, and I feel as
outsiders we shouldn’t judge based on what he says. I can’t judge him
because I don’t know him or his mental state…
What would you have done differently?
Under what circumstances?
If you had to interview the President…
First of all, I am an artiste. I would
not have interviewed the President, maybe if I was a presenter, I would,
but I am an artiste and my job is to pass my message across to people
through my music. My job is not to interview the president, so we cannot
compare because it probably would not have happened.
