Made Men Music Group singer,
Emma Nyra has revealed in a recent interview how are boobs are her selling point
and what she thinks about celebrities bleaching their skin.
Read the interesting
interview below:
“It’s not that I flaunt
them but part of your selling point as a female artist is your body, your
voice, your look, your hair, everything. Chidinma’s
lack of hair is her selling point, you understand. Each part of you is your
selling point”
When asked why she flashes
her boobs even though they are not big, she said;
“Its confidence, you understand. Somebody like Toolz
for example, her selling point is her body. Before her voice, it’s
her body. As a woman, her own packaging is always different. I have grown up to
be comfortable with the way the skin is because I have accepted the fact that I
can’t change it, I have to accept the way I am. Men don’t
look at me, the women look at women. If I go out with or without makeup, a
man will not notice. But if I go out and I see a woman, she will say Emma Nyra
you are looking different from how I see you on TV. She would comment on
everything to my eyebrow but a man won’t look that deep
unless he is into fashion and everything. I have learnt to accept myself. If
you are not confident about yourself, people won’t
buy your brand”
About bleaching, she also
said;
“I grew up with white people and I noticed that white
people tan. They wanted to look like me whereas I wanted to look like them
while growing up because I wanted to belong. This bleaching thing, Indians do
it too, even Americans do it too. Its been so bad lately because the society’s
perception of beauty has to do with it. The lighter the better, whereas, in
Europe, the darker the better. Dark hair, dark skin, its a kind of class. That’s
how they do their own class system. Our own is just, we have grown up watching
aunties bleach. When I fist came to Nigeria, I went to a store and I couldn’t
find a regular cream, all I saw was whitening. I went to Dubai, the same thing.
Indians and Arabs, they bleach. I am more concerned with clear skin, not light
or dark or whatever because I grew up seeing girls wanting to be dark. So it
didn’t affect me that way. I don’t
support bleaching, I don’t think it’s right. Some people
wear padded bra, some where padded bum. As a woman, you can choose whatever you
want. You can change your nose, your breast, anything. But as for bleaching,
because of the long term effect, I don’t think it’s
good for you”
