Movie director and writer, Charles Novia, known for speaking out his candid mind on issues, stepped on toes some moments ago when he called out singer Seyi Shay for rocking a ‘sheer’ outfit to the Channel O music and video awards that held last weekend.“She said she wants murder and dressed like that? She got her wish Nonsense and ingredients! Lame thinking for a lame career. You build a ‘sweetheart brand’ which visibly competes with a better rival and then veer off…Let me be frank: that Bad Girl/Boy image never works. You get the lunatic fringe crowd edging you on and then they switch to the next one. You wey dey don form Bad Girl/Boy becomes limp and laggard. You become useless to the present order. That’s how it goes. It’s what it is.” he tweeted.
Yea, we gotta admit that despite her ah-mazing looking hair, R&B/Pop singer, Seyi Shay’s black Chanel sheer dress which exposed her equally black Rebel pair of lingerie at the #Chomva2014 kinda turned us off too – but rather than leaving it at that, Charlie went on to crucify the singer’s career.
“Yemi Alade, Asa, Omawunmi, Waje didn’t need to be near naked to be on top. They were judged on their TALENT and made it. Commendable. Let your talent speak for you always. If you don’t have it, nothing can force anyone to accept it. This business thrives on talent not tart.” he tweeted.
And that action has got him into a verbal trouble with media personalities, Daddy Freeze and Funmi Iyanda.
Charles had to swallow his pride and apologize for his ‘statement – but the damage might forever linger on in Seyi’s heart.
The “Murda them” crooner is yet to respond though.
