Seyi Shay Reflects On Four-Year Music Hiatus, Credits Motherhood And Solitude For New Perspective

Seyi Shay has finally spoken about her four-year break from music, describing it as a time of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.

The singer explained that stepping away from the spotlight helped her gain clarity about life, relationships, and her purpose. “I started a journey of isolation… I could reflect and was blessed with insight which gave me foresight,” she said.

Motherhood and solitude, she added, have reshaped her spirituality and her perspective on men. She is co-parenting with her daughter’s father, a Nigerian music industry professional in the UK, and said they remain “great friends.”

On her marital status, Seyi Shay attributed it to “technical issues” and expressed ease with her current views on men, noting, “I love all the men. It’s a man’s world.”
