Nigerian singer and songwriter, Waje has revealed her pastor’s warning to her song ‘Grind’ which featured Burna Boy.
The song, “Grind”, which was part of Waje’s debut studio album, W.A.J.E was by many but doesn’t have a music video.
During a recent interview she revealed that her pastor was against the idea of her making a music video with Burna Boy.
Waje said her pastor said some damning things regarding the song to her, which made her chose not to make a video.
She said:
“One of the biggest breakthrough years of my career was 2013, that was the year that quite a number of things happened for me. But there were a lot of songs that I didn’t even touch, because of my faith.
Do you understand? The song with Burna Boy [titled “Grind”], I didn’t shoot it. Because at the time my album came out and I had a conversation with my spiritual leader, by the time Pastor Tony had spoken to me, he explained why to me and the way my understanding is: there are three boxes.
And I kinda see myself in that box and we have a few people in that box like the Johnny Drilles and the Timi Dakolos. We’re not only called to Christians, we are called for people who really just want clean music. And then there’s the sensual box and that’s the box I will never go.
Sometimes you as the creative, you have to sit down and think about the lyrics because you can have something you have in your mind but the person receiving it is receiving something else. And the truth is if you truly love God, you will care more about the person releasing it than you do about your art. [And that’s the reason why I didn’t shoot the video for “Grind”]. I had to grow to that point.”
