Waje Says She Can’t Marry A Younger Or Unsuccessful Man, Lists Qualities She Wants In A Partner

Singer Waje has opened up about the qualities she considers non-negotiable in a life partner, stressing that financial stability, maturity, faith, and emotional intelligence are essential for her. Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, the veteran vocalist explained that she has outgrown the stage of “building” with a man and now seeks someone who can inspire her personal and professional growth. “I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why — I’m not in my 20s, so we are not growing together,” Waje said. “A man leads by selling aspirations to me. I have to aspire to see him lead. If he can’t inspire me to grow, we can’t be partners. Success, faith, and emotional intelligence are all part of it.” The singer also made it clear that she would not date a younger man, noting that such relationships often lead to tension and imbalance. “We will have issues,” she admitted. “I’m very pragmatic. Sometimes I have to hold myself back with my siblings, friends, and family members. Imagine if it was a husband? He would get tired. I’d be treating him like a child — he would hate me.”

Waje Says She Sang P-Square’s Hit ‘Do Me’ Without Credit Or Payment

Singer Waje has opened up about being the uncredited female voice behind P-Square’s 2007 hit ‘Do Me’, revealing she never received any payment for her contribution. On the HonestBunch Podcast with Daddy Freeze, the 45-year-old said, “I didn’t earn a dime from P-Square’s ‘Do Me’.” Waje, whose real name is Aituaje Iruobe, performed the song’s famous chorus but was not officially acknowledged on the track. She recalled the disbelief she often faced when claiming her role in the song: “Imagine being in Onitsha market and telling people that’s my voice every time ‘Do Me’ is played, and they look at you like who are you. They didn’t believe me.” The singer, who rose to fame in the mid-2000s thanks to her contribution to the hit, also noted that she was absent from the music video because she did not have a passport at the time. ‘Do Me’ was one of the standout tracks from P-Square’s third studio album, Game Over. The twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye ruled the African music scene with numerous hits before their split in 2016 over personal and managerial differences.
