This is the concluding part of our exclusive interview
with the controversial singer, Maheeda who says s ex is like food to
her. Read on…
By DAMILOLA SHOLOLA & KEHINDE AJOSE
What’s the difference between Maheeda and Caroline?
Caroline is a mother, a wife and a loving citizen of Nigeria. I’m God-fearing and I don’t mind how people see my lifestyle.
We saw you on BBM yesterday(last week), and you said;
‘There’s a Maheeda in me, there’s a Maheeda in you, there’s a Maheeda in
everyone.’ Let’s start with the Maheeda in you?
The Maheeda in me! This is Caroline and sometimes, I change to
something else. So, everybody has that moment where they just can’t see
it. I was with a lady yesterday at Cool FM and immediately she sighted
me, she changed into her bum shorts and high heels and started posing.
To me, the Maheeda in her was coming out because seeing me already, I
have influenced her dress sense. The urge to look s exy was irresistible
in her. That’s the Maheeda in her and there should be a Maheeda in you
too.
If you finally achieve your dream as a superstar, what else would you be longing for?
I don’t want to stop there. I really want to be like Oprah later
What kind of talk show would you do?
I want to anchor a Talk show that will allow people to be themselves.
For instance, if your are addicted to alcohol, you would be able to
come out and own up to your addiction. If you are also addicted to
admiring married women, you should be able to confirm it. I really want
to bring out the Maheeda in a lot of people and let’s see if they want
to embrace or quit the Maheeda creation.
Are you addicted to s ex?
I love s ex, everybody is addicted to s ex. Why does everybody just
think I’m the only one who loves s ex? If there’s no s ex, I won’t be
normal. Everything will just be s exy to me
Do you think there’ll be a time when you’ll stop having s ex?
I don’t pray for that time. Even in my old age, I would like to have s ex
How do you deal with your critics?
They make me strong and what I am today. Five years ago, they dealt
with me to the point that I had to cry. But that very moment actually
made me strong. I faced a lot of challenges then and my man was by my
side. He was trying to make me understand that this is the true nature
of showbiz. I thought I was liked by people. Then, I couldn’t sing but
now, I’m stronger.
How do you really make your money?
Basically, from shows and modeling. I’ve been doing a lot of shows especially abroad.
What is your greatest fear as a person?
Leaving this world without really touching lives in a positive way.
Do you think you’re a role model?
I don’t know but what is role model? I think people see role model as
somebody that is perfect. But I don’t think so. I think it’s someone
whom people learn from his or her mistakes.
When you’re doing your shows, do you go nu de on stage?
It depends on how much I am paid for the show. The list is there, do
you want Maheeda to go nu de on stage? This is your price. The same
thing goes to anyone that wants me to go nu de in his musical video.
Supposing I want to do a show in Nigeria, and I expect you to expose everything?
You have to pay heavily for it. If you want Maheeda to go nu de in
your show, it would cost you a lot of money. Do you know how many people
that would attend the show? No doubt, you will recoup your money.
If someone insists on private show?
That person would have to pay me. We are talking about business here. I will give the person enough private show.
Have you ever done that before?
Yes, that was in Europe. It was at a birthday party organised by some big shots. I love my job, it was a big thing.
They had to touch you?
No, my job was to strike s exy poses with all those s exy bikinis. It was big money.
A lot of artists use drugs to enhance their stagecraft. Do you use drugs for your shows?
I am naturally high. I don’t use drugs. I’ve seen what drugs did to a
lot of my friends back then in Port Harcourt, so, I vowed I’ll never
take it
What is that part of your body that you always like to show off?
I like to show off my ass
But you don’t show your breasts?
Oh really? Don’t worry when they pay, I’ll show them. I need that one
to make money. Like Rihanna, she recently showed off her boobs. You
don’t know how much she was paid to do so. Otherwise, you need to save
some kind of things to make good money.
What do you think about the comparison between you and Afrocandy?
I love my people because they are bored and they know how to be
entertained themselves. They can even entertain themselves without me
and Afrocandy saying anything.
You are very active on social media?
Like I said, I love my people a lot, and I enjoy talking to my fans.
There was a time you were banned on Instagram and you had to
open another profile. How did you feel when you woke up that morning?
First, I was really sad. This is because the picture I posted then, I
was somewhat dialoguing with my spirit whether to upload the picture or
not.
What was the picture like?
One with a guy who was masturbating with my picture on the laptop. I
thought it was classic. I was very proud of it and that was why I
uploaded it . But I was very sad because I had to start all over again.
Have you ever been heartbroken?
Yes, I have. I actually left the guy.
Why did you leave him?
He didn’t have money. I broke his heart but my heart was broken too.
Why do you think good girls go bad?
Experience, what has happened to them in the past. I’m talking from my own personal experience.
You say you’re passionate about your country but your actions did not portray so?
It’s always like that. You can’t even know people who are really
passionate about this country. Whether we like it or not, we are
learning from the outside world. So, that’s just how it is.
Among the female singers, who do you have a lot respect for?
Waje. I respect Waje a lot and I like her person. I met her in a
studio, we ate together and worked together. She’s really a wonderful
person.
Mention one female artiste that you would love to work with?
For collabo, I would like to work with Seyi Shay or Tiwa Savage. I
love their voices, they are superb and my male fans would love them. So,
I long to work with people who are appreciated across board.
Who is your celebrity crush in Nigeria?
Phyno. His s exy eyes turn me on.
How about Olamide?
I just wanted to say Baddo. I want to see how bad he is
