Punch , adding that her mother believed one “didn’t have to be immoral simply because she is a singer.
She said: "Every other member of my family was not pleased with my music career but my mother never took offence. She taught me that a female shouldn’t be too close to men.
“For example, I was never bathed at the same time with my male siblings. My mother used to check if my virginity was intact every three months interval before I got married; especially whenever I returned from movie locations.
“When I newly got married to my husband, we went to the National Theatre in Lagos to watch a movie and actors like Yinka Quadri, Ebun Oloyede, among others were there. When they saw my husband, they congratulated him and told him that he had chosen a good and exemplary wife.

Speaking on her music career » and how she started producing soundtracks for Nollywood movies, the gospel singer said: “I started my entertainment career as an actress and back then, they didn’t do personalised soundtracks for movies.
“One day, one of my colleagues, Adio Majesta, said I should be able to compose songs for movies. He told me the title of the movie and that was how I started making soundtracks for movies.
“He believed I could do it because I always sang whenever we were on location and sometimes, I used the incident happening at that particular time to compose songs.
“My first daughter, Ayomikun is following my footsteps. She is currently studying music in the university. She often tells me a lot of things about the rudiments and intricacies of music. I actually wanted her to study medicine but she chose music. She writes good lyrics and I respect her for that.”
